Description
Cut down from her stand, the tree weeps for her old life, unknowingly, her tears water a flower which blooms to a glow, and the tree knows she too, will grow again in time.I found an old diary of mine with a little sketch like this drawing and the words "let your tears be the rain which waters your soul" I didn't even remember drawing it, but it hit me hard when I found it. I've come really far, but my tree is still a sapling, and easily bent. I try and nourish it as best I can, and sometimes tears really can help
I didn't want her crying in this though, it's when she realises everything will be okay, because things grow anew. Must be 30+ hours work in this, though it was mostly done on one layer... Messed around with lots of brushes, was enjoyable to use texture
She is not an ent or a groot, or anything not from my imagination, she is a symbol, for things growing again
Peace, love and stripping back the bark,

When I saw this I'm reminded of Finn from Adventure Time who had a flower growing out of his right right stump at the time and was encouraged to nurture it and allow it to grow, but he didn't actually have the will to do so. That's what it reminded me of. I think its really interesting that she's a tree girl. Oh and I just now noticed all the other stumps behind her. Is it weird that I noticed the little plants growing on her breasts? lol

I love what you said in the description. I always here "It's ok to cry" but I never feel that way when I cry.

i used to b like that - mostly cause i thought crying was a strong weakness - but .. its more like a way of venting now - if you keep it all in it could build up to b destructive 4 u
it may take some time to not feel the way u feel anymore - but try at it til you feel crying isn't such a bad thing .. time passes .. tears stop and yur imagination can u free .. like artwork 
anyway - apart from the heavy stuff- i really lik your picture and I'd like us to be friends ^^ .. feel free to send me a note if u want to chat anytime ^^

oh its fine - i was considering not saying anything but figured that it might lead to worse things like depression (which i don't believe should be a disease/infection and need precription for .. but hey .. we got meds 4 headaches - and even though depression doesn't come with PHYSICAL pain that you mostly CANNOT control .. if i say it doesn't need medication for it.. 1/2 to world (at least) is gonna b blowing up my messages -_- don't get me wrong i value ppls opinions but so help if you try to argue with me about a topic that I BELIEVE i can never b convinced to change.. you'll jsut b wasting time) OH BTW! srry that last part wasn't directed to you! 0.0 i was selfishly ranting .. lol and (ironically) wasting your time

Actually i got a different story to this, i just thought of trees being cut down for their uses, and left to their stumps, leaving the trees hurt

I really really love this. I have a deep love for nature myself, and to see the cycle of life represented in such a way is very beautiful. Good work!
