Barbara..When I look at A picture...I go by WHAT I FEEL in the picture. By golly this one just feels SOOO good! I LOVE it!

Artist Reply: glad you like it joanne, it's certainly one of those moments in time when everything fell into place while painting it...

How lovey...the minute I saw it I felt... Peace!!! Strange. But wonderful work...I just dropped in to see what condition your condition was in...Sorry I misssed this one. It is truly lovely. I hope all is well with you . Just wanted to say I am thinking of you. Lots of Love CB

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....

you do a marvelous job with the watercolors! I love the textures that you create in this piece.

Very nice! I love thefine work of the pine needles and the fading of colours in the discance. The tree trunk is maybe a bit too homogeneously dark.

Penny Myers 06 Apr 2005

I like the feeling in this...trees are strong like people. Weathered, a little battered, but still strong.

Susan Epps 03 Apr 2005
