Amazing painting! Must look incredible in person.

Reminds me of a massive tree in a Seattle arboretum which literally exploded on being struck by lightning:

It got cleared up pretty quickly, and (I think) mostly fed into a large wood-chipper - except for one forgotten, twisted, bare chunk that I fished out of a flowerbed and which now lives on my bookshelf...

@coprolite9000 Thank you! Wow, the power of nature. Happened to one in the grounds of a stately park near to me too.
