I am a contemporary Canadian landscape artist. I'm a visual story teller engaged in a mad race against time. recording disappearing pre-urbanized landscapes, as cities swallow land in fertile temperate zones. I use Elemental Texture, Luminous Colour, Symbolic Shapes and Lyrical Line and a process I have developed and call Glazed Acrylic. also see me on instagram @robinbarattaartist

Is it one tree or three? A family or a complex individual?
Does it matter... as long as it's happy.  I'm drawn to old tree's, perhaps my druidic ancestors have left an imprint on my DNA. Like so many ancient peoples they believed that all living things had spirits. The more we learn about the interconnectedness of life the more it seems they may have been right!

On this coast too often be set with hurricanes, only the supple survive.
These survivors clustered on the lee side of a row of ancient dunes, show scars and missing limbs. 

 Near a huddle of older trees a lithe young tree dances in the wind. The survivors seem to watch and I wonder what they may be thinking.
