growing and changing

Here is a painting of the growing palm plant.  I pruned it between now and the 10-years-ago painting entitled "singles bar" (posted 4/16/2016 "waiting").  I forgot about that.  One limb was growing out sideways and getting in the way of walking traffic, so I cut it off.  The plant seems to be thriving.  I got it 29 years ago and have repotted it a couple of times.  To paint it this week, I moved it to a new location.  I think I will keep it there for now.  If it wants more light, I suppose I will know soon enough.  It is changing and growing and has endured some cuts--sounds like life to me.
