A broad tree fills a landscape panel, branches reaching out to both edges and roots spreading below into a shallow bowl shape. Every leaf is a separate teal-green shape with a hard outline, more like a cut pane than a painted leaf. The trunk and branches are dark brown and slightly glossy where the light falls on them.
Behind it the ground burns: bright yellow directly behind the trunk, cooling to orange, then rust, then deep blue out at the corners, mottled like fired glass. A heavy bronze border wraps all four sides with a raised rosette in each corner and a hanging hole punched through it. The leaded-glass look and the moulded frame are printed on a flat aluminium sheet, with no glass and no lead came involved.
Hang it where a lamp or a window sits behind you, since the bright centre does the work of a backlight. It fits a hallway or a landing, and makes a straightforward gift for someone who marks Yule and Ostara by what the trees are doing.

The Tree of Life anchors the design around roots, growth and connection. The surrounding imagery supports that larger theme of continuity between nature, ancestry and personal growth.
