Context
"Chuck (the donor) commissioned me to do a “portrait” of this cottonwood tree in front of his house. The tree was planted the same year the house was built, (1890). Chuck felt the tree was slowly dying and wanted it recorded. The painting is a diptych, with the trunk to hang below the full tree with house in background. I wanted to communicate the connection of cottonwood, house, ground, and of course Chuck." - Paczos
