Memorializing

I'm here on the Florida panhandle at the lodge where I've spent over 20 winters.  I've painted the grounds and its environs every year.  This year after Hurricane Michael plowed through Apalachicola, some of my favorite views have been altered.  The restaurant on the property was completely destroyed, and the driveway to my building lost a couple of trees.

In this painting, the tree on the left lost the top half of its trunk.

I love trees, so I'm glad I at least have this painting to remember the view I've cherished for all these years.
