Acrylic on canvas by Julie Seelig
Donated by Sally Seelig, the artist's mother

A heartening painting which makes up for lack of realism with a surplus of symbolism. The cloud caught in the branches of the most prominent deciduous confirms the artist's vision of a world where dreams can be captured and landscapes tamed, if you only try hard enough.

Ms. Seelig completed this work during a class. All the paintings were left out to dry, and all were stolen, except this one.
