Brightscapes: The Way To Beauty Single Birch Tree acrylic paint on canvas 12" x 12" (30.5 cm x 30.5 cm) 201912119 © copyright Mike Kraus As a young child, I use to sit at my adult-sized knotty pine desk and look out the window. Sometimes I'd have a book. Most of the time it was multiple sheets of copy paper covered with doodles. I'd squirm on my vinyl chair and daydream looking at the birch tree outside. There was always a bird, squirrel, or butterfly taking advantage of it's barks and branches. Or the wind would blow making the trunk bend and peel away its layers.
