The 24"X36" canvas artork shows th mountainous area of the Sequoia National Park with a lone tree, devoid of foliage, standing erect in the foreground, amidst rising greenery of smaller trees destined to replace it. The composition, which mirrors the geological environment of the surrounding Central California area where the artist works and lives, is meant to offer symbolism, particularly to fallen men and women veterans who pave the way for the greatness we share as a nation.
