Painting Trees

I've always loved painting trees. In elementary school, the only time I every made it on the artwork of the month wall was for my tree painting project.

My mom came to visit for the first time since she helped move me in and I was a little embarrassed that our house was still only half decorated. I've been talking about getting a big canvas, painting it, and hanging it over our couch for months now though we still have a huge, empty wall framed by a coat rack and tall lamp. She made a comment on the importance of always making a house a home, no matter how long or little one may be living there. Inspired by her words of encouragement, I faced my fear of buying such a large blank canvas, browsed for some ideas on etsy, and spent the day painting these trees. :)
