Birch trees have always been a meditative source for me. Growing up, there was one outside my window that I would look at while daydreaming. And, when I needed to get away from the world I went to a grove of Birch trees to find refuge. I’ve always found the unique and nearly useless white tree interesting.

This painting would look best somewhere that has saturated rich colors

1 DAY LEFT!!!  20% OFF with my anniversary coupon code 1YEARFUN

I follow the winding path not knowing where I'll end up.  The trees rustle in the breeze stirring up the aromas of the forest.  A freshness one always has to remind themselves of in civilization.  The light refracts in strange ways at this time.  It's when the surreal becomes the real.  

This painting would look best in a space that is orange, purple, yellow, green, blue, beige, or wood.

The blue skies over Chile with the Andes Mountains is a celebration of memories and knowing where you're from.  She was an exchange student there.  But all those souvenirs were lost in a fire.  Many years later, her family welcomed a new child from Las Condes.  A city that has a special place in all their hearts.

Chipmunk On a Burst of Red

20% OFF with my special anniversary coupon code 1YEARFUN

"I see what you're eating over there," said the unblinking chipmunk as I try to have my breakfast; a healthy bowl of grains and nuts.  While the chipmunk is bold enough to chatter at me, he wasn't brave enough with his small stature to take it from me.  So he stares and I eat.  When I'm finished and walk away, he scurries to where I ate looking for scraps.  Anything he can bring back to his den and savor on another day.

This painting would look best somewhere that needs a splash of color.  In a space that is light orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, beige, or wood.

20% OFF with my special anniversary code 1YEARFUN until 4/26/2015

I have stayed here for several days.  Alone in the wilderness with only the things I can carry in my backpack.  I've been rationing my food and water to extend my time here.  There's an intensity to the morning sun that is counter-balanced by the dew on the leaves.  A delicate harmony to everything.

This piece would work in a space that is green, orange, yellow, navy blue, or on wood.
