"The Last Tree" Acrylic on Canvases: 2010 |
After we arrived, I took a few photos of the painting so I'd have a record of it, and then spent a great week with my dad, my son, and my then-girlfriend.
And then somewhere along the line, I lost the pictures I took of that trip.
It had been so long since I'd seen the painting I couldn't even remember exactly what it looked like. And then the other night, I found the SD card with the photos on it.
Here are a couple of closeups for you:
A huge fan of Dr. Seuss as a kid, I think this piece probably had something to do with The Lorax. My dad, something of a hermit and definitely a lover of nature, seemed the logical recipient for this one. I called him yesterday morning to ask him if he'd check the back of the canvas for me, as I always sign, date and put the piece's title there. Since I couldn't remember what I'd called it, I figured I'd ask him. It turned out I'd never named this one, so I'm now calling it "The Last Tree."
