Description

Art invites us to explore the fantastic and unexpected – aspects of life that we hope to be true, but too frequently doubt because “real life” seems so prosaic.

The artwork, The Jeremiah Tree, shows this world of the surreal, this world beyond what we call normal.

In the midst of a desert we find growth. Flourishing within the harsh, sere landscape, an apple tree grows strong and tall, its roots tapping into the life giving water of a passing stream.

It’s odd to see any tree here, much less an apple tree. But somehow, many many years ago, an apple seed, an apple core, the whippet of a root stock – something – planted itself in exactly the right place to grow, to be nourished, to flourish.

The Jeremiah Tree was created as a commissioned painting for a family who wanted to commemorate the Hebrew scripture verse (which Christians call the Old Testament Bible verse) Jeremiah 17:7-8. The verse describes the person who trusts in God as,

“Like a tree planted by the water, that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.

“Is this true?” one wonders. “Is this really true?”

The answer is important because, deep down, many people want such good, strong promises to be true.

What we do know is that, within a desert, within a harsh, sere place where there is little rain to nourish the ground and draw forth plant growth, things will not grow. But . . . if there is a river, if there is a stream, if there is a way and means of a regular water supply, then trees and plants and foliage that find this water, that tap into this water, that allow this water to nourish their roots and their being, do, indeed, grow.

The Jeremiah Tree is featured on 37 Fine Art America groups.
