Description
This amazing Eucalyptus Viminalis sits on the hill behind my home. I often visit this tree stump and remember the times that I had when a young girl sitting on the shoulders of my uncle walking through a tall eucalyptus forest, and smelling the leaves when they wiped across my head. Sadly today 50 years later, that forest is gone forever. Now where I live, every day log trucks rumble past my front door shaking my house. The heartache I suffer from seeing these trees go by cannot be expressed. I can imagine how indigenous forest dwellers feel when they see there place of living, there home, being clear felled.
Stop!
It must stop now. This is violating the rights of the children and all life of the future. Tipping the balance of biodiversity causes unrepairable problems such as blue green algae, water pollution and down stream devastation. They have not got it right. The only way we can save our earthly havens is to stop now and plan ahead, down size and think globally ac locally. Be sustainable in your own countries for all life forms. We cannot ruin this unique environment for newspapers in Japan. Tasmania is not a factory for the world news which becomes yesterday�s old news and waste.

Sarah, The color is magnificant! The subject is priceless! The emotion is beyond words! The heart crys out as the humans dishonor what beauty which was given to us out of love. I hope we open our eyes and hearts before it is too late.

Sarah, Another beautiful piece of art, the colors are so soft. This must have been a magnificant tree. I feel the longing to walk out, touch and be with it. Its spirit lives on through your painting. I appreciated what you wrote in your description. It is so heartbreaking to see this kind of destruction.
