I didn't think sad but it is really an excellent capture. <br /><br />I have a red bud tree in a pot (plastic) bigger than the one your avocado is in. this tree has been in a pot all it's life. I guess I've had it for at least 15 years, maybe longer. it's sort of a dwarf, confined as it is in the pot.ellen abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535475792150335186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-14023979740649500262015-08-26T12:00:37.941+01:002015-08-26T12:00:37.941+01:00You know. .

I really like it in its own right, and to actually feel as though I've sort of met the sitter adds an unusual demension.

A perfect use of light and shadow!<br />My avocados look like yours do! I had one that I just cut everything off of but the stem. It's leafed out nicely. Maybe you could find a different vessel to plant it in- something from a thrift store. A repurposing, as we say today.

I'm...Pensive more than sad, I'm thinking. I'm always fascinated by what the artist sees in the sitter. They often bring out qualities not always obvious to the casual observer. <br /><br />Judging by the expressions on the face of the tallest cat sitting behind the avocado, it is also surprised by the plant's progress. <br /><br />Ms Soupalphabet souphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11744905399607433764noreply@blogger.com
