The Birch Trees

This piece is called The Birch Trees. (click to enlarge). Last week, I took/stole/made the opportunity to paint. Instead of doing the things I SHOULD be doing; the To-Do lists, the parenting, the cleaning, the this-that-and-the-other-things that will slowly crush you if you let them. Because sometimes you need to do what fills you up - or you can't keep going. I woke up and painted. I didn't have a plan, but I did have a blank canvas and a few minutes of peace... Of presence. I remember these trees from a time when I was ten years old, horseback riding somewhere I can't remember. I remember these trees from a high school ski trip. I remember these trees from a car ride north with a name I can't be bothered to recall. I remember these trees. I remember the very feeling of being present. Tracing their lines and lights. I remember everything else melting away from me. I remember being one-thing-at-a-time and I remember a soft silence amongst us. And I remember these trees...

Ooooh! How I love those trees. They make me homesick for the UP.

They don't do very well where I live now and I miss them so.

Your rendition is absolutely, breathtakingly beautiful!

More! More!

I love those trees. I just got out of bed and started to do a little search on cancer and the doctors that operated on me in France 22 years ago. I was looking for something about" 'I'm A Life Lover" foundation and stumbled onto to your site.
What you say about painting as you awoke one day sounds like how I feel. I have my art stand and paints and a blank cavas that has been sitting at the my bed side for a year waiting for inspiration to strike to paint something. i think you might have done that.
Love your paintings.Patricia

Some have pictures of famous art works.Often times a slight change in angle or a step left or right can solve the problem and make a photo so much better.

I remember these trees from a time when I was ten, riding, somewhere. I remember the trees of a ski trip in high school.

I'd actually love to review these boxes on my shopping/lifestyle blog. i wonder if they'd send me a sample box to talk about?

yum, coconut cupcakes sound very more-ish. I'm a big fan of coconut macarons, but I think the cupcakes will be a bit less tricky to make! Also loving the Anthropologie bowls. Thanks Leslie for your beautiful inspirations.

This is a powerful metaphor for our lives. The birch asks us to philosophically go where no other will go (voluntarily or otherwise). The birch asks us to take root in new soils and light our lives with the majesty of our very presence.
