Branches are like the letter "Y" and you can continue "Y"-ing off the
previous "Y" almost forever.

Only when I moved to Florida did I figure out the origin of "lollipop"
trees - palm trees - or Dr. Seuss.

Before I did TAB, I taught a lesson based on Mondrian's
"Gray Tree."

We drew a tree and colored in the background with oil pastels.
After the tree, we investigated other works by Mondrian, but that first
project always turned out great.
