Let’s count the recent Big Tree* paintings: 1. Big Tree Sold at Kaweah Arts 2. Second Big Tree painted and delivered to Kaweah Arts 3. Third Big Tree painted in anticipation of another sale 4. A fourth Big Tree begun as a commissioned oil painting.
Now Big Tree #3 looks too skinny.
*Remember, Big Tree refers to Sequoia Gigantea AKA Redwood

Hi, I’ve missed talking with you. I’ll try to get you an email this week.
Neat big trees. I imagine painting them upside down helps you see them in new ways too? With words as my art, I often read them aloud in order to “see” them in new ways. 🙂
Warmly,

Jennifer, I have been wondering about how you are doing but haven’t checked in. Thank you for checking in!
Reading aloud is probably the language equivalent of painting and drawing upside down. It forces me to see the shapes accurately instead of what I think I am seeing.
