“Boy with Evergreen” Gouache on illustration board, 8.5″ x 5.5″

Boys and woodlands go well together. Living in the Rocky Mountain areas of Colorado means there are lots and lots of trees to love—some of the bristlecone pines on Pikes Peak are estimated to be over 2,000 years old. And that’s no tall tale! Scout out some Douglas fir if you want to see the 100 to 130 foot tall trees. Could be this little one will grow to be that tall, or perhaps 2000 years old.
