Description
At the edge of the pond, the bare tree stands tall in the last light of a perfect early spring day. Overseeing her domain like a regal monarch, she gazes with old, tired eyes on the waters of Lake Holiday and the hills beyond. At her feet rests a canoe, tied securely and waiting patiently for its owner's return and the trip back across the waters and home. All are bathed in the lavenders and oranges of a gentle sunset through which float fat white clouds.
The old tree wonders, sleepily, if this will be her last spring. She knows she should have felt the rush of her sap and the itch of new leaves weeks ago. She sighs a quiet sigh ... or ... was it just the wind ...
This image was hand-painted, digitally, by a human being (me!) in Corel Painter and was very, very loosely based on one of my own (not from stock or public domain) images. It was NOT created using AI - Artificial Intelligence programs.
Fine art purchases of this image will not include a watermark, and if I may make a recommendation ... this image will look its very best on the fine art paper choice of "picture rag."

Lois, a lone tree in the landscape is one of my favorite sights. This is so wonderful with the colors you chose and the light surrounding the scene. F/L/TW.
Lois Bryan replied:
Randy I'm so glad you liked that tree. It's what drew me to the scene as well ... though it was suggested that i remove it. I tried ... but ... that's what the story revolves around ... so ... it stayed. : ))
