The Native Trees of Canada by Leanne Shapton

2.0

Large, dynamic, simplistic paintings of common Canadian trees. More specifically, leaves - the shape, roughly, but not the color, texture, detail. This would not work as an actual nature guide. As a work of art, I also found it a little underwhelming. It's fun to flip through, but a lot of the paintings look the same and like they were done quickly and sloppily, as if done by a kid who was given a couple paints and told they had to fill up a pad of paper on a nature hike before they could go inside and play video games. I would have liked more information on the trees themselves, and maybe even comparison photos. I want to actually learn about native trees of Canada!
