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

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.

It's so interesting how trees communicate and not touch. I haven't heard of this but its quite cool. And nice drawings too.

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.

Oh my! I didn't know what "shyness of the crown" meant -- that's an incredible phenomenon, which you have perfectly reproduced in your art!

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