H.M. SAFFER II:

Trees:
I have always been fascinated with trees.
Living in Japan I was surrounded by trees.....
from the fantastic cherry blossoms season to the art of bonsai.
I also experienced “forest bathing” or Shinrin-yoku, which the Japanese introduced, Deliberately spending time among the woods.
can help us deal with the stresses and strains of urban living.
I enjoy painting the wonderful shapes of trees
and the various bark textures, especially that of old trees.
We often think of trees in a very human way, that they each have personalities and traits
that distinguish them from all the rest.
Their symbolism can be powerful and moving,
​and they are definitely a landscape painting essential for my art.
