Title: Nature’s fighting soldiers

Artist: Giosyl May E. Jance

Subject: Landscapes
Way of Representation: Realism
Meaning: The painting shows numerous trees of different varieties and thus it was titled
“Nature’s fighting soldiers” because a land field with many trees protects the soil from erosion,
flooding, and sometimes used as a barrier from wind. It seems like the trees are the ones
guarding and defending the land.
