One New Tree in the Neighborhood

Acrylic on 12" square x 1 7/8" deep Masonite box.

This is the fifth painting of the tree life cycle series. It is a sequoia planted by a neighbor last week. The neighbors will also miss the view of the fallen trees and the sequoia will be wonderful to watch as it grows and will hold a great deal of the water and help dry the very wet ground here. In the foreground there is a twigs left behind from the trees fallen to make way for a new house. We also plan to plant some trees but will wait until our new neighbors build their home.
