The Left Bank Art League's entry in the 2011 Festival of Trees was a winner!  Taking first place in the Nature category for tree entries, this beautiful tree was inspired by the wonder of nature.  Members painted original images of various wildlife and created original nature-inspired decor - it was truly an inspired look and sponsored by Heartland "Criations" Alpacas.  The tree was topped by a wonderful alpaca-covered stuffed eagle.  Many thanks to our sponsor and hope you had the opportunity to see this entry.
