The subject of this painting is a European Beech Tree during a heavy snow. The tree is located in front of the First Baptist Church in Sylva, North Carolina.

Looking at this tree, I am reminded of illustrations done by N. C. Wyeth for books such as Robin Hood.

Standing in front of this tree on a warm summer's evening, I can imagine seeing Robin and his men in the branches waiting to descend upon the Sheriff of Nottingham in an ambush.
