A Plant's Eye View of The World; Part 3

Hmmm... What would the world really be like if all plant forms could fight back...?

When I look at this painting, I sometimes think of that song "He's a Lumberjack and he's - not-so - OK..."

Evil Greens: When Plants Get Mad - Treacherous Trees
This is the third in my series of oil paintings, Evil Greens, and this one is titled "Treacherous Trees".

In it, I show the trees subtly fighting back against two lumberjacks, one by gently lifting its root to trip one of the guys and the other by lowering a branch to swat the second lumberjack.

Otherwise, the setting is perfectly sylvan and benign!

My Evil Greens series is done on canvases of roughly 2ft by 2.5ft. I originally conceived them to hang somewhere like a dining room, as they make great conversation pieces.
