Shortly after Kris and I got married we started visiting wineries throughout Loudoun Country, Virginia. Thanks to a coupon book we stumbled upon, it was still relatively affordable to visit several wineries a month, and it was a great way to get out and explore the beauty this area had to offer. One of our favorite wineries was a place called North Gate, who had since been sold and reopened as another winery. The people who ran it were very kind, the wine was excellent, and they were one of the few wineries who hosted art exhibits, featuring the work of local artists. Kris and I were lucky enough to have had a couple of exhibits ourselves at North Gate - something we could’ve only dreamt of when we first started going there. One time, while sitting out on the back patio of North Gate, Kris pointed out a small, broken tree that seemed to have a face, like that of a person. I saw it right away, and we both agreed that it seemed to be watching us. I took a picture of it, sketched it in a sketchbook, and later made this version of the tree. The following year, when we returned, for whatever reason it seemed to have disappeared. I’d like to think in some way it was memorialized through a work of art. #trees #tree #art #nature #natureart #artwork #drawing #watercolor #artistsoninstagram #artistoninstagram #dmvartist #loudouncountyartist #loudounart
