Artist Reply: yeah this tree does give peace. it is outside my childhood home and a view from my bedroom window. growing up with this tree has been a journey. it was a small twig at start, now a strong and sheltering PONDEROSA in full. this winter in the pic was right after a divorce. somehow the tree gave me strength and YES calm as you saw as well. always good to hear from my sister in ART. i always think of you as well... with love and in HIS name -- barbara
Artist Reply: Hello! another great comment from CB... i like the song you sing between the lines of your comment. this one was painted long ago, and addressed a sad but good time for me. yeah it does give peace the tree that is. still there and growing outside my parents house. thank you friend!
Artist Reply: yeah painstakenly done -- was great therapy at the time it was painted. now it's a reflection of a challenging time passed with the strength of a rooted tree....
