This started off a run of tree paintings he kept at for years — each one taking a bit more out, according to Wikipedia, until the trees eventually turned into straight lines and blocks and stopped being trees at all.

Erisava: All that blue with the red cutting through it — I'd hang this without thinking. What's your take?

The longer I look, the less it's a tree and the more it looks like veins.
