A TREE GROWS IN BOSTON

A young man in an urban setting dreams of life in the country.
We know he is dreaming of it because the color of his eyes is
the same color as the sky in the pastoral image. Sadly, this tree
exists only in his head. The harsh demarcation between the rusty
urban sky behind his head and the idyllic view of his dreams is a
harsh indication that they are worlds apart. In desperation, he
stretches forth his hand to touch the tree. But he will never
reach it.
Congratulations to Sarahlynn Nichols who composed this interpretation.
Ms Nichols has won a copy of the book "Museum Of Bad Art: Masterworks" and is
allowed, even encouraged, to use the title Museum Of Bad Art Guest Interpretator
in all personal and business situations.
