Grandfather Oak Remembered:

I created this piece for my Mom’s upcoming birthday.   She and my Dad used to have a view of this magnificent oak tree from their breakfast nook.  Each day they would sit and watch the wildlife, the changes in the leaves. We used to have a huge bulldog who would sit outside under it’s shade.  My brother was kind enough to gather leaves and take a few photos for me before the house was listed for sale.  The leaves became patterns and the oak tree will live on in Mom’s new kitchen.  I think a little bit of Dad will be there too!

Live Well!
