2 New Trees in my Forest Family

Thank God for trees! Don’t you just love them? Grounding through their roots and connecting through their branches, they’re constantly growing into the light.

They may have to twist in the wind, lose a few limbs, morph with the rhythms of the seasons and aim for the light in unusual angles. But they keep on growing, accepting, adapting, and giving in so many ways.

All the while, they give of themselves to help us breathe. They nourish us in body, mind, and spirit. And they provide shelter for so many blessed creatures.

They have so much to teach us about being.

I can’t imagine a pine enviously comparing itself to a maple or a weeping willow feeling superior to a bamboo.

Each tree just is – being what it is in all its stages.The blueprint for its full potential was there when it was still a seed or an acorn. Every day it just grows into more of itself – naturally and in divine timing.

Is it any wonder I can’t stop painting them?

Here are 2 more in my growing Forest Family. Let me know if you’d like to adopt one of them for yours.

1) Rooted in Community

(9″ x 12) – SOLD

Like the fruit to the bud to the leaves to the branches to the trunk to the roots …. we can’t do it on our own. We need each other.

We need community, no matter how introvert we may be.

Finding your tribe is key to feeling at home, rooted in community.

Who is that tribe? Those who see, accept, and love you for exactly who you are. Those who don’t want to change you but celebrate the radiance you add to the world.

May you find your tribe so that you too may be nourished from your roots to grow rich fruit.

This painting honours the Life Force flowing through the rivulets of our very being.
