This will be my last submission for a week, as I'll be resting on the couch watching TV and eating lots of ice cream to soothe where the wisdom teeth were yanked out. lol

I like that over time it has grown it's own hand, since what it strives for is always out of reach. But it doesn't give up, & even rips itself apart to get to it anyway.

Wow! Gorgeous! It reminds me a little of the videogames Shadow of the Collosus, and Ico, and also of Escher's art, twisted part of the tree before it goes into the clouds. Amazing art!

It makes me wonder what it would be like to live on the highest point of that tree...

It's the magic faraway tree (Enid Blyton book), but without the fairy folk. This is a very strong piece and the tree is magnificent. Well done

Very interesting! I'm surprised this one had no human or animal subject that your art usually does. Very nice work though, again, always good to see a change!

Thanks sweety!! I had to resist all my urges to put some sort of human or animal in this one... but in the end I really just wanted it to be on it's own. So glad you like it! (Very cool avatar by the way!)
