"Willow Weep For Me" is the old "torch"song that always comes to mind when I see a willow tree. It was sung by many artists, like Ella Fitzgerald and Frank Sinatra. The lyrics use the physical characteristics of the weeping willow to convey the" weepy" sentiment of a lost love....."Bend your branches down along the ground and cover me."
But mostly I love the wispy, gracefulness of this tree, especially when a breeze blows across and through its branches.

This painting has wonderful movement and I love the connection you have made to the song.
I agree with Julie - the movement in this is so beautiful, as are the wonderful bands of light and shadow that lead the eye of the viewer right into this lovely painting!
