With the arrival of autumn, we see how the colors in our environment change. We invite you to join us in a session of calm observation as we look at a selection of artworks depicting trees. Often the central figure in many landscapes, the tree has long been used as a metaphor and symbol for life. We will discuss and connect our personal experiences to images of trees in paintings, photographs and drawings.
