The weird one

My recently created oil paintings are all about 'individualism'.
Most of the people can associate themselves with one of the trees in the paintings. The trees are performing like actors.
Every person is gifted with at least one special thing in life, so you easily can personify yourself with one of the actors. As the brave one, the cheeky one, or the lucky one.
But also if you don't take the titles too literally, you can see the solo acting tree as a leading one in a group, a showing one in a circle of viewers or a guiding one in front of a public. In some way, we all are the one. Even if it is for just once.

The story behind this painting:

There is always somebody who’s incongruous. In most cases they can’t help it being self-conscious or being lighthearted. And sometimes they are the troublemakers with a dose of determination you wish you had some of yourself.
