A Poem as Lovely as a Tree
I'm starting to add paintings to my 2015 folder and it's fun to see the direction I'm taking in my work. I was looking through my paintings from 2014 and was inspired by the trees I painted over the year. I have a little crush on birch trees, especially the young birches with their coppery bark slashed with black, dark branches tracing spiderwebs in the sky. So while I'm not excluding any subject matter that inspires me, I am thinking that trees are going to be my focus this year. I don't think it will be boring!
Here are a few of my favourite tree paintings & sketches from 2014:

And here are two studies from 2015. The first is the reason I love cross country skiing; every Saturday in winter we are on the trails and they are so beautiful!
