I thought it was my uncle Tim Knowles....it isn't. So what does the tree get if Mr. Knowles sells the work? I mean, a plant can only take so much water and plant food. What about the wind? (No, I'm not trying to be cheeky.)

It's a giant canvas. That's right, this tree is drawing a picture. A picture of what? I don't know. It's probably an abstract painting of some sort. A British guy named <A href="http://www.rokebygallery.com/matrix_engine/content.php?page_id=1035">Tim Knowles</A> put pens at the end of the branches and let the wind and the trees do their thing.
