Teak plants have long been famous for their excellent wood quality and high economic value. Likewise, teak leaves are famous as food wrappers and dyes. However, it turns out that after taking a closer and more complete look at its clustered flowers, wide green leaves, dense and uniquely shaped fruit and very textured bark, my admiration increased even more. My impression of God’s destiny deepened because even though the specimens of teak flowers and fruit were located in high places, my path to getting them was made easier by Him. Painting a complete teak plant has its own challenges that I will always remember. This painting will always be one of the best works I have ever created.
