The Oak Folk 20x15 inches

Oil on canvas board

This painting depicts an ancient oak tree at the end of its life, its branches bare and its form weathered with age. The trunk takes on the shape of a woman’s body, blending human and natural forms into a single presence. Around the tree, nine men in brown cloaks stand in a circle, gathered in quiet reverence. The scene suggests ritual, transformation, and the deep connection between people, nature, and the cycles of life and decay.
