We stayed over night at our friends house last night and on the way back in the morning, I had the urge to buy black ink.
At home, I picked Ece, who shared with her inspiration:
“No tree, it is said, can grow to heaven unless its roots reach down to hell. ” C.G.JungOlive Tree is the life tree for the Aegean Region. It has roots going deep as long as it reaches to the sky. Like me 🙂 I have dark sides as much as light, and I love myself just as I am. I am whole.
I have no idea, if I had to buy the black ink for this painting, or if the painting is black, because I had bought the black ink… Ece is painted with ink, the olive tree with oil paint.
… and I have no idea, why there are no roots … but this is what it moved me to – I tried to mirror every brush stroke (honestly this was more difficult as I had expected!), filling/giving the same space on both sides of the golden line.

Thank you, Ece!
