MSU Tollgate Farm: The Secret Life of Trees

Secret Life of Trees Art Gallery

Student creations and research

by Henry, student 4.5 years old – Four tempera paintings, one for each of the four seasons. A study in deciduous trees and evergreen trees and what they might look like in the different seasons (in each painting the deciduous tree is on the left and the evergreen is on the right). 

The top left painting is each of the trees in summer; the top right painting is fall; the lower left is winter (and snow) and the lower right is spring (the deciduous tree is a cherry tree with pink flowers)
