Long ago, in a land where twilight reigned longer than day, there stood a solitary tree atop a wind-washed knoll. Locals called it The Witness Tree —a silent sentinel that had watched over the hills for centuries. Its twisted trunk bore the scar of a long-forgotten storm, a deep fissure running through its base like the mark of time itself. They said if you stood beneath it as dusk fell, you could hear the whispers of the past carried on the wind.This evocative landscape, rendered in oil on a 130 x 80 cm canvas, draws the eye with its dramatic contrast between sky and earth. A rich indigo sky dominates the upper half, pierced with a luminous bank of clouds, highlighted delicately in white and shades of blue.In the foreground, a softly textured knoll rolls gently into the composition, its grasses tinged with warm pinks and dusty beige tones. A stark, expressive tree anchors the scene—a twisted marvel with branches like arteries and a fissured base that speaks of storms weathered and time endured. Its palette transitions from soft beige to intense magenta, drawing attention to its emotional core.Further into the distance, a shadowed hill rises, echoing the foreground in shape but steeped in muted, darker shades—like a memory of the closer land. The brushwork in the grass is subtle and windswept, hinting at movement and passage.

The painting is finished in an elegant oak floating frame, offering a natural, grounding border to an otherwise dreamlike and emotional scene.
