I had always wanted to paint this statuesque tree trunk in a field: it lends beauty and character to its surroundings, standing tall to match the cement plant towers behind it.
But it is next to a fairly busy street and the only place to paint it is from the driveway of a seasonal vege stand. I was photographing it from this driveway one evening, coveting the thought of being able to paint it without trespassing. Just my luck, the owner happened to be passing by. Looking as harmless and friendly as a trespasser could, I asked her for permission to paint from her property....
You may think I am a dead tree
But I am in the prime of my life
Abundance of time to reflect
Every sunset, fully savored every night
Arms ever stretched out to for any drop-in weary bird
Ever ready to receive, ever ready to listen ...
But I am in the prime of my life

Every sunset, fully savored every night
Arms ever stretched out to for any drop-in weary bird
Ever ready to receive, ever ready to listen ...
