It's summer and we haven't seen each other in person for SO long! Brenda Raub, our very talented artist and teacher in Mountain Home, was convinced to instruct us on painting our beloved but long gone Doughnut Tree which was located on East 8th North near our current golf course. When the golf course was expanded, as well as the widening of East 8th North, the doughnut tree was taken out, limb by limb, to the dismay of nearly everyone living in Mountain Home. It was a cool place to hang out, bike to, walk to, and picnic under.
Local photographer Jerry Kencke took a picture of the doughnut tree just after the eruption of Mt. Saint Helen's in Washington in May, 1980. His picture captured the ashen skies which cast a shadow over the top of the tree. Brenda used that picture as a model for us to paint.
I think we did rather well with our colors and dab-dab-dabs of paint on canvas! Remember, art is the in eye of the beholder!
