Ups and downs

I am painting trees.  Very simple vertical abstractions.  Walls of them.  Anita West told me today that vertical forms evoke stability and horizontal forms evoke calm.  I must have known.  This is just what I want to produce for people to experience.  Trees, solid and vertical.  Stability.  Lines of them across the room.  Calm.  

Stability and calm as an antidote to the vertigo of modern life.
