When I was at Waskesiu Lake with my family on the Labour Day long weekend, I went for an evening walk with the purpose of taking resource photos to use this winter. As I wandered along a trail behind the Nature Centre I was looking up at all of the gorgeous Birches. I glanced at this beautiful tree to my right and without as much as a nano-second of hesitation I thought, "Well, hello old friend!" As I stared at the tree wondering why it seemed so familiar, I realized it was the same tree I painted in "Looking Up" two years ago! I had long forgotten where that tree was, but the instant I saw it again I knew we had "met" before.

your tree paintings have such a lovely energy Nicki.. i can feel the breeze and hear the leaves when i look at these paintings.
and good to hear you bumped into an old friend recently;)
How cool that you bumped into your "old friend". I notice that the two of you are getting more familiar now and you're getting up a little closer and more personal. :-)
I think you're capturing the feeling of looking up into the tree quite nicely. My neck is feeling a little stiff from looking up...
I enjoy seeing your progression shots. Thanks for sharing them.

Full of energy and drama - love it. And what a clean studio. I've got some work to do...!
Rahina, what generous words. Thank you kindly.

Hi Don,
It was quite something, the immediate sense of familiarity I had when I looked at this tree. And yes, I felt it was time we got to know each other a bit better after all these years!
Sorry about your neck!
:o)

Hi Kim,
I hope I can finish this baby with the same energy as when I worked on it yesterday... I'm on my way to the studio so I'll find out soon.
