“This oak captivates the eye… For as soon as you see one thing… Your eyes will see it in a different perspective… When you look at it again. It also has a more joyful feeling!”

Thank you Carol Lynn, nicely put.
I’ve a long love affair with oak trees.
I love their looks, variety, to climb them, the shapes of their leaves, their smell and as a timber for carpenters and boat builders oak is the king.
I met This particular Mr.Oak de Sivens one day in a clearing in the foret de Sivens while actively looking for subjects to paint ‘plien aire’.
Middle aged, it had been blasted by lightening, survived, lives on.
I admire that and liked the symbolism.
Many of us have similar experiences.
The weak and feeble crack up, cry, divorce, hide in their ‘caves’, what ever, even die.
I am pleased to report, I saw this tree again in 2014, looking well on the way to a complete recovery.
The best of us as Rudyard Kipling put it in his inspired and inspiring poem “If”, get on with it as does this ‘Blasted Oak'”.

Alone in a clearing in the forest of #Sivens, South West #France, struggling, surviving, a credit to all sturdy oaks, a solid oak tree.
