| I painted these for a Music and the Spoken Word message. It aired on September 22, 2021. It talked about a girl who grew up with a tree. At the beginning, when they planted the tree, it was about as tall as she was. |
The girl took care of the tree, and as she grew, the tree grew as well.
 |
| The story captures the life of the tree along with the girl, and how they spent time together and were friends. |
 |
| I enjoyed painting these. I had just finished painting "Katrina and the Madrone Tree," which was a children's book memoir of a similar girl with a similar relationship to a tree. You can see the illustrations for it in the "Pages" on the side bar. |
 |
| I also loved that I got to use my daughters in the different age views of the girl and the tree. I painted these during the pandemic, so it was great to take the whole family on a walk, and just enjoy playing in and being around trees. |
