We wrote the year 1974 when I created this painting during my study years at the Art Academy in Cologne/Germany.
I always loved trees, especially in their gristly entrenchment of branches and roots.
They seemingly live always, though superficial seen, they look like dead sometimes. This Tree I painted is such a tree going through the process of rebirth seasonal contingent.
My parents loved this work and it was that I gave it to them to honor they efforts towards me and always supported me in my artistic ambitions.
It was hanging at a place in the living room of my parent's home, where it could not been overlooked and so welcoming each visitor to the house.
