Description
"your Influence are your roots, if they are bad, then most likely your seeds will be bad as well."a quote i made up to go with the painting, its about an apple tree that so happens to be growing in a cemetery that's grounds has been littered with just about every thing bad, needles, drugs, bottles, bones and TV's, all of these in which the tree's roots have grown into that has spoiled it's fruit, making them black with a shade of red. skull apples.
this painting has pretty much boosted my confidence in painting more, im pretty impressed with the sky and how well the black contrast of the tree and foreground fits in.
painted on a fairly large white canvas, with black/white and red acrylic paint . total time to complete, 7 hours 23 minutes, in 2 sessions.
forgive me for the poor quality in the camera, had to use my i-phone XP

Great work! I really like how you inverted the contrasts for the underground bit. That's really cool.
Dammit. You're a reverse-plagarist. Just kidding. 
Except I wanna take your inverted contrast idea for the underground part. I actually came here searching for tree roots to get some inspiration on how to do that part.

This is really good 8D And I adore the symbolism and idea behind it :3 The details on this are GREAT. I LOVE THAT SKY!! I like that the main lighting is from behind, which gives the graves/crosses a very eerie, almost glowy look to them :3 Those many, many roots must have taken forever haha! Evul needlesssssssssss U8 I like Tvs though XD THEY SHOW ME THINGS LIKE ADVENTURE TIME. AND THOSE LOVELY, LOVELY COMMERCIALS ABOUT FAST FOOD MILKSHAKES AND ICE CREAMS TOPPED WITH EVERYTHING FROM PEANUTS AND FUDGE TO HAMSTERS AND BANDAIDS /da fuck. I'm glad you stuck to mainly monochrome for this :3 It really makes the few splashes of red pop! ...I'm sorry though, but if I ever came across a grave tree with an eyeball, I'd be unable to stop myself from poking it 
You've improved a lot since I last saw your stuff :3 Good work!
P.S: I wanna make skullpple pie out of dem skullpples

Good job.

Love the concept and the quote, and especilly the painting itself. The contrast, definetely the contrast, is GREAT for an uneditted painting. The whole thing just really catches your eye. I'm quite impressed

That is such a gorgeous piece!
That design, the whole apple tree in a cemetery, everything about it is just so inspiring! That would make an amazing wall piece!

0.o woah, where'd this leap in painting skills come from? Theres a lot of improvement here from your last painted piece.
That sky is amazing, how'd you get the acrylic paint to blend so smoothly? Adding those highlights to the blackened sky reallyhelps to define some of the atmosphere and also makes the pitch black tree stand out that much more. and all that extra details in the eye as well as subtle red shading looks beautiful.
The title and quote are perfect, they are a story personified through this painting, it all just comes together so well. Your imagination is a wonderfully dark place, thank you for sharing it with us :3

RAY THIS IS DIVINE.
It looks so amazing. You have all the reasons to feel confident about painting.
The sky looks realistic, especially with the bright light beyond the tree.
The story it yells and the division of colours are all composed perfectly.
