Right down the lane from our studio some wild cherries are in the last throws of fall color. Bronze and red, yellow and  a little remaining green – stunning colors in a sea of cedars and fir. These trees appear to  have begun their lives in the 1980’s when our forest was cleared, then stump and dirt were sold for the house. I still see the guy around town who did this, and it’s all I can do not to yell at the poor guy.

 

But that happened 30 years ago, and since these hardwood cherries only live 30 years or so, I thought I’d eulogize them a bit with this painting. When they fall from winter storms and tired roots, I get the chainsaw out and most will eventually end up in our fireplace where we enjoy them again. And, the red-breasted nuthatches searching for spiders will find another tree to check out. For me, this painting will be a reminder of a thoughtful moment in our forest when I stood down there pondering the fall leaves.

 

This ORIGINAL painting is acrylic on board, 6″ x 9″ and $145 framed. Outside measurements are about 12″ x 15″.

The custom frame has a triple liner and glass. Shipping adds just a bit more depending on your zone. This is the original painting, NOT a print. If you’re interested, you should let me know as these smaller paintings haven’t been staying around long.
