This little Lone Tree I found in a photography book early this summer.  It reminds me of the Burmis Tree in the Crowsnest Pass area of Alberta.  

The Lone Tree was one of the early paintings I did, maybe back in April.  It was very much influenced by the grey and colourless days of early spring.  I drew it free hand and then mixed the paint because I didn’t have any grey paint (and still don’t). 

It is a very simple painting but I like the look of it.  And it really does remind me of the Burmis Tree!!
