The Last Forest

Will we go in fire, or will we go in ice?

This is my homage to our disappearing trees- when they are gone, so we go as well.

It's made of painted sateen, the trunks are marker and *appropriately*, I thought, heat distressed felt.

    Very strong imagery and message Betty enforced by the colours and techniques. I like the simplicity.

    The first piece of work I ever remember seeing of yours was black and white trees with red beads. This is reminiscent, but the red sky is dramatic and frightening. Well done!

    This is definitely a eye-catching and powerful work, Betty! I love the way you depict the problems that forests are facing.

    Very evocative; the heated felt is perfect.
