Laocoon and the Disappearing Tree


While still on Burrington Road in Pownal, VT,  working on this ugly small painting, I struggled with this tree like Laocoon and the snakes, with the tree becoming the snakes.  We may think we see trees, or branches, but we really can't see them.  We follow one branch and it disappears.  They all disappear.  We know they are there, but where are they?  We feel them but just can't quite get them to keep still.
