Trees bent by years of Pacific wind. Rock worn smooth by tides that never stop. This painting looks at one of those trees — its solitude, its grip on the cliff, its refusal to move. Its bare, pale branches shaped by the constant spray of salt seem to reach toward the moving waves and sky. Waves hit the dark rocks below. The sea is cold and turquoise, with white foam on the surface.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 3.0pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #333333;\"\u003eThe sky is painted with urgency, with moving clouds, deep purple near the horizon, and tiny hints of blue showing through. Using oils on board, Herriott employs confident, sweeping brushwork to give the clouds motion and the water energy.
