It is so befitting that my brother Matt's birthday should fall on Earth day! As a child, Matt collected butterflies, fireflies, built an ant farm in a shoebox, had snakes in his bedroom (that one morning ended up in my sister Robin's closet and shoe), fish, was always kind and good with animals. He is a loving and gentle soul and of course, in my unbiased opinion - one of the greatest artist alive! A series of trees that Matt painted for one of his children's books, left us breathless.
So, in my attempt to honor his day, I have painted a tree - just what a real artist wants, a sloppy painting from a non-artist:). It was however, painted with love and fond memories of him and our childhood.
Painting is in the mail Matteo! Happy Earth Day everyone!
