Separation

Tree dad, without all the complications of a human divorce, is on his way to find a younger tree partner without so many rings around her trunk and possibly without so many nests in her branches. The tree children stay firmly planted behind their mother wondering if the next day will bring rain or sunshine.

Neighborhood

Estimated number of acres of U.S. farmland lost to development each hour: 114 (Harper's Index Book Volume 3. 146)

I put more planning into this painting than I do with most of my work. I try to create work quickly and if it works, great! If it doesn't then tomorrow is a new day. Every time I sketched this painting out it never seemed wide enough. Going too wide, however, simply resulted in two paintings stuck together. It was also important to me not lose that imitate quality smaller paintings provide.

Shade

From the official Valley Forge website... "Few places evoke the spirit of patriotism and independence, represent individual and collective sacrifice, or demonstrate the resolve, tenacity and determination of the people of the United States to be free as does Valley Forge." Oh, yeah, and it's beautiful.

House By The Road

Let me live in a house by the side of the road,
Where the race of men go by;
The men who are good and the men who are bad,
As good and as bad as I.
I would not sit in the scorner's seat,
Or hurl the cynic's ban;
Let me live in a house by the side of the road
And be a friend to man.

- Sam Walter Foss
