{"product_id":"black-and-white-gnarled-tree-in-french-countryside","title":"French Countryside Gnarled Tree Photography Print, Black and White Nature Wall Art","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis black and white French countryside photography print features a gnarled tree spreading bare branches across open grass. Its textured trunk and twisting limbs make a distinctive nature wall art accent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tree’s rough trunk bends upward before dividing into a broad spread of bare branches. One large limb reaches far to the right, while finer twigs form a delicate pattern above it. I photographed this French countryside scene in 2008, noticing how clearly this individual tree stood apart from the taller trees behind it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts shape caught my attention immediately. The uneven trunk and wide reaching limbs suggested a quiet strength to me, but they also offered a very concrete subject for the photograph. I like the way the tree occupies the open grass without being isolated from the rest of the landscape. Other trunks, branches and a darker evergreen remain visible in the background.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlack and white makes the differences in texture easy to follow. Rough bark gathers light on the foreground trunk, the grass creates a soft lower surface, and the sky leaves space between the thinner branches. The tree is not perfectly balanced: its long sideways limb gives the square composition an unexpected direction, preventing the central subject from feeling static.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis photograph would suit a reading room, a country inspired interior or someone drawn to the character of individual trees. It offers a clear shape from a distance and a much finer network of details up close. The quiet setting gives the weathered trunk room to hold attention, while the surrounding trees keep the scene connected to a larger rural landscape.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e© Dan Kosmayer, 2008\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dan Kosmayer Photography","offers":[{"title":"10 × 10 inches (25.4 × 25.4 cm)","offer_id":42220252299343,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12 × 12 inches (30.5 × 30.5 cm)","offer_id":42220252332111,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"14 × 14 inches (35.6 × 35.6 cm)","offer_id":42220252430415,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"16 × 16 inches (40.6 × 40.6 cm)","offer_id":42220252364879,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18 × 18 inches (45.7 × 45.7 cm)","offer_id":67602051235919,"sku":null,"price":64.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"20 × 20 inches (50.8 × 50.8 cm)","offer_id":42220252397647,"sku":null,"price":72.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"28 × 28 inches (71.1 × 71.1 cm)","offer_id":42220252463183,"sku":null,"price":105.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0552\/9685\/2047\/files\/French-Countryside-Gnarled-Tree-and-Bare-Branches-Black-and-White-Photography-1.jpg?v=1791768059","url":"https:\/\/dinkosmayer.com\/products\/black-and-white-gnarled-tree-in-french-countryside","provider":"Dan Kosmayer Fine Art Photography","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
