Seasons come and seasons go, but they leave behind memories and roots, suggesting the increments of time's passage.

-Charles H. Reinike III

Rooted in Time uses abstract elements to portray a natural setting. The upper area presents a dynamic sky, using various shades of blue and hints of white to suggest clouds and atmosphere. A horizontal band of textured golden-brown hues represents a distant landform or horizon, with streaks of earthy brown suggesting roots flowing downwards and creating a sense of natural movement as they blend into the lower section. A rich blue band of water separates the landform from the foreground, which is dominated by a soft green tone and punctuated by darker, vibrant green brushstrokes that suggest tall grasses or reeds that add natural detail to the composition. The overall effect is a serene yet subtly dramatic natural scene conveyed through a rich interplay of color and movement.
