100 Moffett Blvd.
11" x 14" oil on canvas
$75
I thought I should paint these trees before they (and many more) are gone. They are on land that is soon going to be developed into a high-rise apartment building. For decades this area was made up of one or two story houses with lots of beautiful trees. But according to the new thinking, that is just wasted space. So out these trees go. Off with their heads.
To me, they are beautiful. I live a block away, but I can see the biggest tree top from my kitchen window. For years I have watched the sun make its daily journey, lighting the leaves up in the morning, and giving them a golden glow as the sun sets in the evening. So by painting these beautiful trees, which once shaded this old garage, I hope they will not be forgotten.
This painting covers all sides - so it can be framed, but it can also be hung up as is, flat against the wall.
