Inspiration – Tree Roots
Restoration the act of returning something to its former state. This panel is the most representational. Hopefully you recognize it’s a tree in the state of being transplanted. I became a bit obsessed trying to figure out how to loosely represent buttress roots and a wood burl. Blair being a soil scientist he simplified the soils layers for me. The cracks are the top soil, the lettering the organic matter and the rocks are the glacier till layer.
