Angel Oak

"Angel Oak", acrylic on canvas, (c)2006. Original size: 18" x 24". This is a painting I did of a gorgeous old tree located in Johns Island, SC. This Live Oak is ENORMOUS and, at around 1600 years old, is reputed as being the oldest living thing in America, east of the Mississippi. Thanks for looking.
