growing a tree

I spent the morning at the cathedral painting the tree of life! Everyone loves the fruit, so now I just need to finish the tree. So far I've got the hillock and the main trunk finished. I'm going to try to back tomorrow to finish two more big branches so there's a bit of a bower and more branches to hang the fruit and leaves off of. It's kind of fun basically getting to use the church basement as a sort of studio for this project. There's so much space! shiny wood floors and a surprising amount of light. The fruit and leaves will be sold for donations to support the various Episcopal community outreach ministries, including 2 women's shelters.
