IN MEMORY of MY SENTINEL TREE

I am posting this painting again that I painted a year or two ago because today I was horrified to see the local Power Company cut it down!!!!!!!!!!!! I am still in shock...they said they had to cut down all branches that were within ten feet of their power lines...and it was not!! I just think he got chainsaw happy...Fortunately there were two of these trees but this one was MY Sentinel Tree...right straight out from my studio window. Cutting down a perfectly beautiful 30 yr old tree is sacrilege to me....and it will take me awhile to get over it!!! At least I have my painting to look at...:)
