Art In The Village - Gallery Happenings: Popular Subject

Who doesn't love trees. It's not a question - it's a statement. I feel especially blessed living in the Northwest with the beauty and comfort that trees bring to my life everyday. My connection with trees started early. I grew up back East with a large public park that extended our backyard into a giant playground complete with vines to swing on, creeks to splash in, and trails to travel - a green wonderland dense with trees that shaded and cooled us from the heat and humidity of summer; wowed us with the blazing color of fall; mystified us on the silent, snowy days and nights of winter; and charmed us with the gentle blossoms and fragrances of spring. I can't imagine a world without an abundance of trees.

These images are of paintings currently available at Art In The Village gallery. Stop by and see how some of the gallery's artists have chosen to make trees the subject of their work.
