Class Act

Here is a nice, calming, beautiful tree that just seems comfortable in its own skin. It doesn’t need to prove anything; it knows people will like it just as it is. And it is quite nice, I have to say. Large panels of white are adorned only with thin lines of gold, while the more boisterous greens and reds play a decidedly second-fiddle role. Many thin coats of hand-applied shellac give it a brilliant finish, not that its ego requires that.
