‘Stump #233’, Monoprint & Ink, 35cm x 30cm, on Daler Rowney Heavyweight Cartridge
Stumps #223 & #224 are the 2nd pair of Monterey Pines that I have done; these are from nearby Brownstone (FYI this is just East of the river from Dartmouth/Devon/UK), & both of which were burnt to a crisp. These Trees have massive Cones which have to be opened by fire in order for the seeds to be released & subsequently germinate.
They have been thriving in the mild, Coastal conditions here since being introduced some 200 years ago from the West coast of the USA; they grow & reach maturity very rapidly, returning to humus within 80/90 years (where they then break down even quicker than they grow) to provide the nutrients for the next generations.
