A tree remembered is never a single picture. It is the morning you walked past, the one you stopped for, and the fog that kept moving, all laid over each other until only the tree is left standing. One Tree, Many Mornings is a multiple-exposure photograph of a single tree on a lawn in Tower Grove Park, St. Louis, its canopy dissolving into a pale, fogged sky.
The eye goes to the center at once, where the tree stands on a plain, warm lawn, then climbs through the crown, where the leaves break into layered fragments and thin out into the white above. The edges are the point: each frame shifts the outline a little, so the canopy seems to breathe while the trunk and the broad mass of green stay anchored. Gold-tan lawn below and fog above frame the tree in two quiet fields of color, leaving it as the only thing in the picture that asks to be looked at. Low in the canopy, left of the trunk, a small pale opening lets the fog show through the leaves, and it rewards the person who stays with the print.
The image is made from multiple exposures of one tree, blended in Photoshop, in the tradition of Pep Ventosa's layered tree portraits, with the soft color and motion of Ernst Haas and the empty, quiet lawn of an Andrew Wyeth landscape.
Design & Styling
One Tree, Many Mornings suits living rooms, bedrooms and dining rooms, as well as hotel suites, spa and boutique lobbies, and offices where a calm green focal point is wanted. The vertical format fits a narrow wall, a stairwell, or the space between two windows. Soft olive, warm neutrals, natural oak, linen and cream let it breathe, and it gives a white or pale green wall a quiet center. It is a natural gift for anyone connected to St. Louis or Tower Grove Park.
Curated Pairings
For the same park: Pair with Canopy of Amber and Sky, autumn light filtering through the trees of Tower Grove Park, the same place seen in a single sharp frame, not a layered one.
For the same softened treatment: Pair with Woven Gold, where tall grass becomes vertical streaks of green, gold and amber, the same dissolving of a natural form into color and movement.
For the same single tree, in deliberate contrast: Pair with The Welcome Tree, a solitary tree standing sharp beneath layered clouds near Taos, the crisp counterpart to this tree dissolving into fog.
Fine Art Presentation
Available as a signed, numbered limited edition print (edition of 15) in Gallery Metal, ChromaLuxe® Metal (Gloss, Semi-Gloss or Matte), TruLife Acrylic, archival paper, canvas, and wood. Archival paper is the strongest choice: the soft, layered edges and the gentle gradients of the fog reproduce like a painting on paper, without the hard sheen that would compete with the blur. TruLife (Low-Glare) Acrylic is the alternative where you want the fog to glow and the green to gain depth.
Note: Custom and oversized photographic prints are available. Please contact the studio directly to discuss custom framing, matting, or specialized museum glass options.
