Description

Keeper of Trees: Hand painted with watercolors on heavyweight watercolor paper that has been mounted on a solid maple wood panel and cut into the shape of a medieval shield, with brass hanging wire on back.

This shield features trees growing under the full moon light in a mysterious landscape. Consider this as a family crest, not for your actual familial line, but for the family of your choosing, the family you make for yourself. Perhaps that family is descended from a long line of tree keepers, with traces of Ents still lingering in their DNA, who still remember how to grow alongside these majestic beings without causing harm. Claim this lineage as your own, and display it in your home as a reminder of who you are.

The image of this painting was inspired by a 17th century alchemical manuscript, Melon MS 57 (f. 15r), kept at the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library at Yale University.
