The daily dose of art AN AVERSION TO TREES

When I first began painting I had a great deal of difficulty with trees - I still do - and my solution was to simply ignore them.  If they were needed in the composition I included them, unpainted, which was not very painterly of me.  Eventually I overcame my aversion, but I still have a tendency to avoid them whenever possible.
