Artist Comments:
This painting was a fun one to do. At first it appears to be a bit surreal which is not the genre of art that I do. I'm a realist painter and in my work I strive to represent the world as it actually appears. This painting was done from an actual photograph that taken in Namib-Naukluft Park, Africa. It depicts camel thorn trees with a sand dune rising in the background. The sand dune is tinted by the effects of a setting sun. The trees are in shadow from another nearby sand dune. Some believe these trees have been dead for hundreds of years and that their failure to decompose is because the desert is so dry.
