I butchered the tree, it was ment to look like a different typr of tree. Oh well.
I got the inspiration from a poem called My Country. the piece that inspired me was this:
Core of my heart, my country!
Her pitiless blue sky,
When, sick at heart, around us
We see the cattle die
But then the grey clouds gather,
And we can bless again
The drumming of an army,
The steady soaking rain.
It forgot to mention that when it rains it pours. It's fitting though, I've had this sitting around for 2 months, when we finally the drought was ended, only to be followed by flooding.
