anna fitzpatrick — celebrating national tree day

A lemon scented gum near her house, was Anna’s refuge: “I have read books under it, napped under it, and even used its scent as a guiding light while walking home in the dark.” Her joyous painting captures the memory of gazing upwards and “having your entire field of vision filled with leaves and canopy.” A feeling which “leaves you reeling with the grandeur and improbability of nature.”
