The city cut down two towering trees today

Sad day this day. City workers informed us that there were two trees in the front "right of way" that were going to have to be cut down.

We are not happy about their decision. The explanation was that the giant walnut was in the way of them putting in a new sidewalk. And the once glowing maple was rotting and couldn't be saved. Ok, I do understand the reasoning. However it didn't stop the tears or anger.
There has to be a painting. And here is the rough draft.
