THE Tree in Overwhelm Learns to Juggle
It’s the same tree over and over again. All the versions of my Tree as Symbol series have been relevant to the path of my particular journey, but I hope some of them will resonate for you too.
The meaning will be a bit different for everybody. Made long before Covid, truer than ever for me now!
Outport
This is an acrylic painting from about 1963, of a snowy winter evening at sunset in a small outport not far from Corner Brook, Newfoundland. My then- husband worked with 4-H Clubs at that point and we used to go to many small places around Corner Brook and up in Bonne Bay for 4-H meetings.
A Frosty Moonlit Night, Long Ago and Far Away.
Many decades ago, on the way to somewhere else even further away, I passed through a small town in eastern Europe.
Happy Little Tree, dancing on one foot!
From the Tree as Symbol Series: Happy Little Tree, dancing on one foot.

Burning Question
A Gun-Free Salute, for Remembrance Day.
Why airmen in particular? I made this one a few years ago, because of an incident in my wartime childhood which has always stayed with me, and because of old family connections to the airforce. I have never understood why we celebrate so many peace-related events, or greet royalty for instance, by shooting a weapon!
Of course I wear a red poppy in remembrance of ALL the fallen – in WWII and all other wars.
But I ALSO wear a WHITE poppy, and for those of you who don’t know about it… here is some info about it:
The fallen forces of the countries who are fighting are not the only fallen! Many, many, more deaths are civilians. If you wear a white poppy, it is best to wear a red one as well. White ones upset some people!
There are many websites about it; the site below explains the reasons to wear a white poppy. Unfortunately, that site is not clickable from here, but you can Google White Poppies or Peace Poppies.
