Inspiration for the Tree Series

Ok ... so I have been pretty slow this month at posting anything but I think I am now back on track. Here is one of Elianna's drawings that inspired the next three paintings that I am going to make available online. When we asked her about this tree that she drew she said she just wanted to draw a different kind of tree than her stick trees. She had been drawing her stick trees (know as Acorn Trees in the "Through the Eyes of a Child" art show) over and over and this was the first deviation she made from them.
