Libby was a dear friend who passed on unexpectedly shortly after I was here with her three years ago. At that time we sat under this tree and I learned it was one of her favorites. Yesterday morning, when I needed to pick a place to have a timelapse video done of me painting, I chose this tree, partly because I love it too, but partly in memory of Libby, since I feel her absence here. (Click here to read my blog memorial of her from 2019.)

I’ll let you know how to see the timelapse of this piece when it is available. Meanwhile, I painted this in a flurry of intensity and love.

You can purchase the original here.
