Paintings on Fallen Tree Logs Mirror Their Natural Origins By Alison Moritsugu

Today’s post is about capturing the meaning of Mother Nature into paintings – fantastic artist Alison Moritsugu succeeds perfectly in doing that. In the painting both the subject &  the canvas were created by trees.

This creative piece of art shows the history of American landscapes. Moritsugu makes us see the reality of what America was when settlers first got there and simultaneously gives us the pure destructive reality of TODAY.

The contradiction of this uncomfortable reality is the main inspiration point of this creative work. “H/T”: mymodernmet

She says,  “I like the juxtaposition and tension created by having an image of nature on a section or sample of real nature,”
