Title: "Van Ee Tree"

Medium: color pencil on paper

Dimensions of Original: about 18 x 24"

Description: I was asked to do this tree for the 2007 Van Ee Family Reunion by Saskatoon, Canada. After I drew it, my Aunt Trudy (who is a professional photographer) inserted photos of all my extended family members on my father's side (the Van Ee side). Because the tree needed to be done soon, I was not too adventuresome in putting it together. Parts of it - especially the sky - look rushed. In the viewer's eye, perhaps the rushed pencil strokes look like blowing wind or something else of that nature. Anyhow, my extended family was all gracious and thanked me profusely for doing this.

Date: about early 2007
