I just wanted you all to be witnesses to the fact that I completed this painting, so here it is.

Yes, it’s a bunch of spots and swipes and dabs, but I assure there is a good bit of drawing in there, somewhere.
Meanwhile, the actual cherry sapling is now in winter mode. It has survived the storm, we think. It has also survived the cleaner-upper folks who stamped around while clearing debris, and also the crew who came and repaired the broken fence.
With respect it should be noted that the cherry sapling has some fiercely protective friends.
I’m glad you shared the finished painting. What a nice harbinger of hope for the 2025 New Year!

I agree with Kenneth! And it is a Beautiful painting. You know they say when a plant survives a storm it’s roots grow stronger. I am looking forward to hearing how this little plants, strong roots, and caretakers, grows to be a beautiful creation.
