White Tree was created in October of 2009. A white tree is affronted by a stark, black background.  The tree has been struck by lightning and is thus split in different directions.  On its branches occurs new growth.  The painting simply states that just because something is struck or wrecked does not mean that it is no longer beautiful.  Disaster does not mean that the victim will not recover or grow again.  Just as healing and renewal have been set in motion to occur in nature, so it can be for the human soul.
