New Beginnings- A study at Dawn

The Beetles have hit our forests hard as shown in the background of this painting and even the trees in the park area are dead. The old tree fort, my children built years ago, depict the happiness and innocence of another healthier time. I love the play of light at dawn and dawn itself radiates hope for a better day. Always the optimist, I see new pine trees regenerating everywhere and I wanted to communicate this.
Barry made the frame out of bug-wood.
