"Green on Green" was photographed in Cade's Cove in the Great Smoky Mountains of Tennessee. It was dusk on an overcast day so the light was very saturated and the variety of greens on display was remarkable. The lone tree in the field surrounded by a host of enthusiastic supporters in the background seemed to hold some elemental truth about individuality and connectedness going hand in hand (or "limb in limb" in this case). Vasily Kandinsky, the Russian expressionist artist (1866-1944), wrote eloquently about color and had this to say about green: "Green is the most peaceful color there is. It does not move in any direction, has no overtones of joy or sorrow or passion, demands nothing, calls out to no one."
