@gre49087 Thank you! This painting is going to be in the spring sale at the McMullen Gallery in Edmonton, Alberta. I do sell my paintings. Most of the ones that I've posted here have sold either privately or at the McMullen Gallery.

One of my favorite subjects is white bark trees.

#映画ハムネット 神秘的な森を舞台に描かれる喪失の物語。 悲劇の裏側にあるさらなる悲劇によって、悲しみが浄化されるなんて… 物語は人の痛みを分かち合い、救いへと導くものだと痛感させられたし、だから私は創作が好きなんだと思わされた。 自然と涙が溢れてくる大好きな作品。

A wool jumper, made in 1985, washed in cold water once a month, worn through three decades of British winters, would currently be sitting in someone's wardrobe doing fine. A polyester fleece, made in 2026, machine-washed weekly, will start to lose its structural integrity within three to five years, shed an estimated 700,000 microfibres per wash into the water system, and end its life in landfill where it will persist for approximately 200 years. The wool jumper: - Came from a sheep - Required grass and rain - Will biodegrade entirely within three years of being buried - Will keep you warm when wet - Will not melt if exposed to a flame - Will probably outlive you - Cost £80 in 1985, which is £230 today, and represents the entire jumper budget for the next forty years The polyester fleece: - Came from an oil refinery in Texas - Required hexane extraction, polymerisation and dyeing in three different factories on three different continents - Will not biodegrade in any human timeframe - Will get cold and clammy when wet - Will melt against your skin if exposed to a flame - Will be in landfill within five years - Cost £40 in 2026, which means you'll buy ten of them across the next forty years for a total of £400, and the planet will still be eating the residue in the year 2226 But yes. The sheep is the problem. The sheep, standing in a field in mid-Wales, growing a renewable fibre from grass and rain. The sheep is the problem.
