When a huge 100-year-old maple toppled, narrowly missing Linda Murray’s studio, it set in motion a two-year exploration of trees in Murray’s art. She believes that “old trees exude something that is intangible, a presence of strength and wisdom. These trees are saying, ‘I am a survivor. I was here before you were born and I will be here when you are gone.’ They transcend time.” Ethereal images
in watercolor, mixed media, and graphite capture the damp, hushed feeling of a deep forest. Delicate moss creeps at the base of giant trunks, and exposed roots reveal faces within.

Linda Murray lives in Bath, Maine, and holds a BS in Studio Art from the University of Maine at Augusta. Her artwork is included in many private collections and is part of the University of Maine’s permanent collection. Murray teaches art to adults and children in public and private venues.

we've been meaning to check out the arnold arboretum

Plan without me, I'll come if I can.

, there's a T stop (train, that is, tho I think a bus stop too) within fairly easy walking distance, tho I don't remember which it is, except that I think it has a several story tall, very modernistic clock outside its parking area. So, yeah, count me in tentatively.
