Notes : This painting was made with pine branches from trees fallen during the violent storms Lothar and Martin in December 1999. These 2 storms ravaged the forests of France, Switzerland, Germany and Denmark. James picked up the pine branches after the storms and kept them to make DAS UNWETTER D13 in 2003 in tribute to the forests. In particular its forest "Le bois d'ARAX" which was seriously affected by the storm.
