This kwanzan cherry tree grows behind my friend Allen’s little bookstore, Books and Other Found Things, in Leesburg, Virginia. In addition to selling used books, Allen was interested in selling and supporting the work of local artists and crafters, and he was one of the first people to help me sell and exhibit my Splotch Monster Island work to the public. I even did my first Splotch Monster-making demo during an April First Friday event, about eight years ago under this tree. It is people like Allen, who believed in and supported my art along the way, who I will always be grateful for, and this tree is forever etched in my mind as a place where new growth and potential began to bloom in unexpected places. #art #artwork #drawing #watercolor #trees #kwanzancherrytree ##growth #nature #natureart #dmvartist #loudouncountyartist #loudounart #artistoninstagram
