Have you ever noticed how huge Banyon trees can get?

The ones in Sherwood Forrest (the back 4 at Granada) alone are mahusive (look it up in the Dubonics Dictionaryhttp://www.dubonics.blogspot.com/ ).

Last summer for my show I painted a Banyon tree based on this sketch— then this summer I painted a Double Banyon, based on another sketch—inspired by the Banyon canopy down parts of University Drive.

Anyhow— I love these trees—even though I was never the kid who would climb then, I just don’t travel vertically unless riding in something motorized like an elevator or plane.

I’m sure there will be other Banyon trees in my painting future.
