Sunday Smiles and SITAR - Shyness of the Crown

 

Shyness of the Crown ACEO (2 1/2" x 3 1/2")

Welcome to Gillena's Sunday Smiles and to Nicole's SITAR.  I am showing my art to go along with this fun fact above.

  1. Creating a miniature ACEO piece inspired by the phenomenon where trees avoid touching their crowns is such a brilliant creative choice. Working on such a tiny scale takes serious patience, and you captured that open, airy mood so well. Nature has a way of showing us the beauty of boundaries without us even realizing it. I recently shared a new blog post and would love for you to take a look whenever you get a chance.

  6. I never knew that trees not touching actually have a name. Your art is the perfect example. Thank you for sharing with SITAR and have a nice Sunday.

  15. That's amazing what the tree tops figure out. I think all of our Kansas trees are touchy feely types. Linda
