"I remember the smoke from the boiler billowing in the air on that cool spring day. As I approached the sugar shack, one could smell the sweet sap in the air, and the burning of the wet earthy wood. I was thrilled, and I ran home to paint the scene. I distinctly recall all those great smells coming back to life all around me as I worked the paint into the canvas.
I was taught that the Maple Tree is the leader of the trees - it’s always the first tree to wake up in the spring, offering early gifts of food and nourishment."
Inspired from a conversation with Brenda Rivers.
