Laden with fruit


"...i dreamed my feet suddenly became roots that drove deep into the earth and into the sky my arms became branches...and suddenly i was an ancient fig tree..laden with fruit."

 ~
A friend told me a dream she'd had.
I did this little painting for her.
It is my entry into Inspiration Avenue 
for
"Tree" theme this week.
Couldn't let a tree theme go by
without participating.
