Light in the Woods

Of all the trees in the woods, one of my favorites is the Birch. Its distinctive light bark makes it easy to spot – especially here in the Northwoods - whether surrounded by the darker green foliage of summer or as a contrast to the dark evergreen color of Pine trees in winter. With the loss of several trees around our house last summer, we waited for the fall nursery sales and then brought four clump birches home. I’m thinking good thoughts and hoping they survive the winter and then anticipating such a lovely sight as they grow and thrive in our yard.

This week’s painting reflects my ongoing affection for this special tree. Light in the Woods is an 11” x 15” watercolor painting on 300 lb. watercolor paper.
