Ever since I was young I have had a fascination with trees. I enjoyed countless hours as a kid climbing them. As a teenager I loved drawing them and now as an adult I love to paint or draw them. I especially love willow trees. There is just something about nature that always draws me in. I believe its the sense of peace and beauty that it possess.

So the past two years or so I have created three different willow tree pieces. The first one I did I was merely doing it as a way to experiment with techniques such as the peeled acrylic. From that one piece I have gone on to do several more pieces with different focuses. I did a couple animal pieces and then one piece of a juice box using the same technique. I did one more willow tree in between some of those piece. And I just finished another willow tree piece. With each new piece I find I learn more about what I like and don't like regarding how I put the paint down. It's been a fun process.
