Bunker Hill Apple Tree

Bunker Hill Apple Tree by Alison Vernon
40x30, palette knife oil
There are a few places that are so lovely on a deeply personal level. This is one such place. This is a painting of a hilltop near our home. The hike up is a good workout and the reward is this open field with vistas, old cellar holes, lilacs and daylillies. The trail down is steep and curls around a beautiful brook. At the end of the hike, my muscles are tired and my mind is clear.
