for the love of trees

Been working on a couple of different tree projects lately -

First a gallery showing titled "For the Love of Trees" at the Artisan Gallery here in Sac. It's a group show with about a dozen artists all together, including some of my closest & dearest friends. If you're in the area, join us this Saturday night from 6 to 10 p.m. for our reception - always a good time at the Artisan.

Today I got everything ready to deliver tomorrow morning, including my multi-panel work, "Quercus Woodland."

I'm taking thirty-six of the panels to the Artisan for this show. you can see them on my studio table. The spare two on the left are going to be with another artist friend in support of another tree project I'm working on.

The Legacy Trees Project acquires large old trees that have to be taken down and puts the wood into willing artists' hands to create an artistic legacy for these gentle giants. Being a tree lover, my artwork is a natural for helping to promote this project, so I've been working on a limited edition giclee portfolio available through SEEART to benefit the Legacy Trees Project.


This image, "Reaching" is one of the images included in the "Tree Lovers" portfolio of giclees and will be available for sale and to order on May 3rd, at another event coincidentally titled "For the Love of Trees."

The originals of "Reaching" and all of the other images in the "Tree Lovers" portfolio will also be available for sale at the May 3rd event to benefit the Legacy Trees Project - more details on that event later.
