Palm Canyon, in San Diego’s Balboa Park, is multi-level. There is a place you can stand by the roots of a great banyan tree and look across to a pedestrian bridge that goes over it as well and look down on the canyon floor below at the same time. A fantastic jumble of aerial roots, ferns, palms, and thin tree trunks fill the canyon floor and stretch up towards the banyan trees. Its complexity is mesmerizing, and I wanted to capture this feeling with this painting.

A little creepy but I like it!

Yes, it did not exactly invite the viewer to walk on down into the deep center!

I feel like this is the Garden of Eden kind of place – a primordial scene from the beginning of time. Before there were people. Just luxuriant growth. I love it.
