"Spirit Tree" is a favorite of mine and Chris', and one of my best-selling prints. There's awesome power, fortitude, and resilience symbolized by the integration of subject, background, form, and texture in the composition. The tree is a Western Juniper, and it's growing out of a granite slope at about 8500' along Yosemite National Park's Tioga Road. I muted the color of the foliage, and altered the blue hues of the sky for better balance with the subject.
