Artist comment: This painting was a new challenge for me. It was the first time I consciously painted words (an environmental message) in my work. Do you see Love the Earth within the branches? Then I was standing on the highest mountain of them all, and round about beneath me was the whole hoop of the world. And while I stood there I saw more than I can tell and I understood more than I saw; for I was seeing in a sacred manner the shapes of all things in the spirit, and the shape of all shapes as they must live together like one being. And I saw that the sacred hoop of my people was one of many hoops that made one circle, wide as daylight and as starlight, and in the center grew one mighty flowering tree to shelter all the children of one mother and one father. And I saw that it was holy."

Artist comment: Ever since traveling to the Galapagos Islands a few years ago, I have been wanting to paint a piece about the Giant Tortoise and other amazing creatures that I photographed there but the perfect piece of wood eluded me. The color and shape of this beautiful Box Elder burl recently "shouted" Tortuga! Also depicted: Frigatebird, Masked Boobie, Orca, Galapagos Sea Lion, Marine Iguana, Candelabra Cactus.
