So many images come to mind for this topic~some are whimsical, while others are just quiet observations.I get most of my inspiration from nature. I love trees. I draw them, paint them, photograph them~can't get enough of them. If the old, stately trees could talk, imagine the history they'd share. The younger trees are just starting out, reaching towards the sky with so much hope and promise. Not much different from us in many ways.
I love the way the same tree looks so different in morning light as compared to dusk. It's these seemingly little things that are huge to me.
It's the little things that make up the big picture.
Be sure to check out my entry for this topic in my Moleskine!

ReplyDeleteI wonder if the trees miss us when we move away? have you ever thought about going back to visit a tree you left behind. I did in Savannah. The spanish moss tree in front of Pulaski Square was my favorite tree ever. beautiful piece!

ReplyDeleteOdd or not odd- I've been thinking similarly about trees- specially in the past 2 weeks. Very beautiful sentiments and paintings here Laurel- thanks for the peace.
ReplyDeleteReally nice, and you are a modern day Monet, of course. ;-)
ReplyDeleteA very tender expression of little things. I sometimes let the little things get in the way of the bigger picture and that doesn't always work out so well. It is a joy to see how nature paints a different picture for us ;)
