This small oak tree looked as if it had a mishap, some kind of landslide had left it hanging onto a mound of earth. You have to admire it's tenacity in continuing to grow no matter what!

You've given both trees new life, Cathy. I love the pattern of the roots, but sad they've been unearthed!
Such an interesting shape!! You really have given the poor tree new life. :)
Great painting and subject.
Beautiful, Cathy! I love those interesting roots, amazing how the tree survived!

Great work.
I really like how you were able to draw the tangle of branches and I love the green foliage. What colors of green paint did you use?
Quite beautiful...and so well painted!
Thanks for the comments!
Barbara - I used Maimeri Sap Green, yellow green, and little bit of paynes grey for the darker bits.
This is so beautiful - love the illusion of light and shadow, and the coarseness and colors of the trees. This is absolutely fabulous.
