Do you know how to interpret art? If so, what does this painting mean?

The storm clouds represent the troubles, problems and struggles of every day life.
The "Old Oak" represents one individual. While the Oak is strong, the top limbs sway in the wind, but it is the Oak's roots that hold it in place, but the Oak's roots are only so strong, and can be weakend by the rain, symbolized by the Oak's roots being exposed in the painting.
The stone represents a second individual. The storm can brew, the winds can howl and rain can poor, but the stone can never be moved.
In this painting the Oak needs the stone to remain standing and weather the storm.
So basically, no matter how strong we are as individuals, it is best to have a stone close to us, to weather those storms in life, when are roots won't be enough to hold us up.

I see someone caught up in the storm of life feeling spread out, being pulled in a direction they don't necessarily want to go. Wait did I paint this?

It's a depiction of a struggle during a separation. The tree, upon looking closely, seems to be holding onto its other half as it leans away. The tree being a single object could signify a couple, the stone that now looks to be where the other half is leaning to could be the other half leaving and seeking a new home, "build your house upon the rock".

If that's supposed to be a rock, instead of the penis it looks like, I'd say it's exploring the connection between the living and non-living in the natural world. There's no other trees or rocks in that picture so it seems that tree could not exit without that rock.
