Serpent and Phoenix
An original abstract oil painting sketch, on quality primed paper, depicting a mythical phoenix firebird in battle with a serpent snake. This painting, by artist Tree Pruitt, was inspired by witnessing an actual wildlife struggle between an eagle and an actual snake. Remembering tales of an Aztec metaphysical myth inspired the artist to explore this conceptual art image with dynamic energy. It is an expression of the magic and power of nature; animals as messengers.

Mexico City's beginnings in Central America go back to the time of the Aztecs. The Aztecs were not native to the area where Mexico City now stands. The tribe are said to have travelled from the mythical village of Aztlan, around the 12th Century. They moved because of an omen vision: the Chichimec god Huitzilopochtli, who took the form of an eagle, was seen perched on a cactus eating a snake. The leaders of the Mexica interpreted this as a sign to move their population. They stopped at a point where they found a bird perched on a cactus with a snake in it's mouth, and there they founded the city of Tenochitlan. It became the largest city of the Aztec culture. To this day, the symbol of the Aztecs - the bird perched on a cactus with the snake writhing it it's mouth - is still used as the symbol of the true origins of Mexico, and can be found on the national flag.
This piece makes a great gift for a Wiccan friend, Aztec or Myan style collectors, Native American style home decor, homeopathic energy workers and New Age or historical minded folks.

Under the Weeping Cherry Tree
An original impressionistic like painting, on canvas board, depicting a mysterious doorway under a weeping cherry tree.
High key colors are used to represent the tension of the setting Western sunlight, (West Coast USA). This artwork, by Tree Pruitt, was inspired by the historical Carnegie Library of the town of Hoquiam in Washington State. The artist, and her husband, joyfully donated time gardening the landscaping at the historic location. Current photographs of the Hoquiam Public Library can be seen today online. This painting is an expression of the magic and mystery of nature combined with devotion to the structure of humanity.
