How would you interpret this painting?

It was painted in 1975 by a man named Charles L. Fontenay who was very important to me (I credit him with jumpstarting my love of reading because as a kid he gave me the latest in his Kipton & Gruff series every time I saw him. :D), I never got a chance to ask him to talk about it outside of when I was a child so, really my entire understanding of it is CUTE LITTLE LOGS! :D And that kind of bugs me, though I love it regardless. Because of how much I loved it he gave it to us shortly before he died.

I was wondering what your interpretation might be, and besides my own curiosity because of my personal attachment, I like to know how others view art in general. So, give it a shot, please?

It’s called Gethsemane.
