Two of my newer paintings: "Tree with Treehouse" and "Tree with Roots"

Tree with Treehouse

Tree with Roots

 I made the first one with my friend Tammy - she made her painting and I made mine! I made the second one while teaching a class in Mixed Media. Such fun. I forget sometimes how very much I love teaching, especially groups of women. This group was absolutely delightful!

The night before I painted Tree with Roots, I dreamed about the tree roots I saw years ago while tutoring my friend's daughter in photography at Maple Ridge Park. When I woke up I knew I just had to include the roots in my painting.

Both paintings have text within the painting on the front and all around the sides as well.
