BLUE SPRUCE: On the side of our house live two tall blue spruce trees. Walking under them, they create a micro-ecosystem of their own. It’s cool under their shade on an otherwise hot day. Between these two trees, I see this arrangement that found its way into a watercolor painting after many weeks of detailed attention. This watercolor is about balance, equanimity, and climate justice — for all species. Walk into any pine forest, or mixed evergreen woods and you will immediately notice the temperature change. It’s cool and moist as the trees like it. They created this environment that suits them and their cooperative neighborhoods, the mushrooms, ferns, lichen, and moss. As the planet gets hotter and drier, evergreens will disappear from our landscape. All ecosystems will go through change. The change is coming too swiftly for us. NOTE: Framed size 21 x 21 inches. Available for sale.
