This is the first version of Arbol de la Vida, the Tree of Life, painted in a freat flurry in february, but something intervened, and mentally I abandoned it, and with good reason, I think ….. so when the deadline loomed I had to toss up whether to do something or anything with this before quilting it, or start all over again with the basic idea. Following are details of the one I did complete, and finally, the full view of Arbol de la Vida, as presented for exhibition. Maybe I needed this total failure to force me to look at the whole idea again. Properly.
