watercolour & ink; an uprooted tree with brown coloured roots and textured green bare branches curves leftwards and up, in the background there's a swirl of pale purple, blue and luminous turquoise , rotating clockwise.

'lungs'

#LoveTrees #ProtectTrees #ProtectNature #Environment #ClimateChange #AbstractArt #Krita #KritaArt #WaterColor #Ink

$watercolour & ink; a tree hovering over a mesh of branches pulled downward, tree branches on the outer sides are curved and distorted and pulled into circular shapes, a semi circle of multiple fractal lines sits at the bottom, tinted in orange, its surface showing curves formed by droplets.$

'twisting growth'

#LoveTrees #ProtectTrees #ProtectNature #Environment #ClimateChange #AbstractArt #Krita #KritaArt #WaterColor #Ink

watercolour & ink; Twisting whirl of liquid ground sits in front of a circular swirling background, a tree with twisted branches curves along the lines, it's colour blending with the background, branches on the left grow downwards and are tinted red.

'way beyond'

#LoveTrees #ProtectTrees #ProtectNature #Environment #ClimateChange #AbstractArt #Krita #KritaArt #WaterColor #Ink

$watercolour & ink; dark burgundy/brown background with a circular fractal swirl around a tree silhouette, purple waves and droplets combined with patches of dots are scattered around surrounding the centre; light dots glow towards the top; the lower edge is fragmented and distorted.$

Dead #trees are not wasted timber dollars - they are sources of food for literally thousands of beings in a #forest #ecosystem, from tiny microscopic beings to insectivorous birds. Standing dead trees are known as snags, while a fallen dead trees are nurse logs. A cut or natural stump can serve the same #ecological function as a #NurseStump.

Nature wastes nothing. If there is a nutrient source to be had, there is a being to benefit from it. Nurse logs, standing snags & nurse stumps play hosts to all sorts of mosses, lichens, fungi, insects & arthropods, many hidden deep inside, as well as other living beings that prey on them.

Nurse #stumps are still deeply rooted; new plant, tree & fungi life grows out of their tops. Nurse stumps & dead stumps that have no new growth atop are like anchor systems for living trees growing in forests. You destabilize the ecosystem when you remove them from their natural #environment.

A moss-covered stump stands in the foreground, resembling a small table, within a lush forest. Tall trees with textured bark and patches of moss rise in the background, while fallen leaves and various green plants cover the ground, contributing to the vibrant atmosphere of the woodland.

'chromatic aberration'

#Watercolour #ClimateChange #ProtectNature #LoveTrees #ProtectTrees #AbstractArt #Krita

$watercolour & ink; dark background with 2 curved bare-branched trees which are embraced by colourful curves of fractal lines; rainbow colours tint the scene, curves distort the visual.$

'cycling peneplain'

#ClimateChange #LoveTrees #ProtectTrees #AbstractArt #Krita
#ProtectNature #Watercolour

watercolour & ink; dark grey background with a circle of a blue pebbled streak (on the right) and a fiery burst on the left; on the left there are multiple tree branches curving upwards; a reflection in s small circular shape from which yellow branches emerge sit on the right.

`vortex breaking`

#LoveTrees #ProtectTrees #ProtectNature #Watercolour #Krita #AbstractArt #ClimateChange

watercolour & ink; dark grey background with silhouettes of bare branched trees curving towards the centre; one tree stands in the foreground on the right - a small group ca be seen in the background; a yellow glow brightens the horizon; 2 large semi-circular curve frame the scene.

'fire cycles'

#LoveTrees #ProtectTrees #Krita
#Environment #Watercolour
#AbstractArt #ClimateChange

watercolour & ink; dark teal background with a patch of mint-coloured grass from which a circle emerges; its left side shows blow waves and branches, at the top there are green and orange flames; on the right, there is a combusting fire which engulfs a tree of orange and blue branches; the bottom right shows specks of yellow dots.

'distortions of heat'

#LoveTrees #ProtectTrees #Environment #WatercolourArt #Krita

$watercolour & ink; dark brown background with the silhouettes of three trees; the background is coloured in greens and fiery red and oranges, a fractal curve rises in the centre, on the left the smallest of the trees has leaves which are pulled upwards, the outer edges of the image show frazzled orange, light dots are scattered at the top.$

My friend, Jane, from Lake Cowichan, was the first senior citizen activist who was arrested in 2021, at Fairy Creek Blockades. She messaged before heading out to meet up with me at HQ camp. She told me she's never been arrested for protesting anything before but due to seeing too much ecocide still happening in her golden years - declared, 'Getting arrested for protecting Mother Nature is now on my bucket list"🌲💦 💗🦅🌲🦉🌲 Jane stayed at HQ camp for 2 nights & on her 3rd day, headed out to chain herself/walker to a tripod hardblock. Jane was arrested, along with 12 others that day, after several hours. Jane is a wonderful human being, a musician, a fibers artist, a Mother & Grandmother, who loves nature very much.

4 large Douglas fir trees, growing out of cliffside embankment, with smaller fir tree in background. Covered & surrounded by moss & usnea lichens. There's ferns, huckleberry, salal & cedar tree saplings, growing off cliffside & surrounding the fir trees.

@nspugh Thanks for the lovely tree portrait! & #GreatAltText, & intro to #Yggdrasil -

+++Update about the eviction situation+++
At the moment it is still relatively calm in the forest in terms of police presence. We therefore don't have any clear signs that the eviction will start tomorrow. However, we are still threatened by eviction, and expect it to start around 15.02. We also still need support in the forest to build structures and to prepare the skillshare weekend. Come by tomorrow to support us!
