Original artwork description:

Oak tree seen in a forest preserve. Even though an invasive vine is beginning to take it over, it is still beautiful.

Monotype processes differ from artist to artist. I paint on a plexiglass plate, then use an etching press to transfer the image. Then I add extra contrast and color directly to the paper. Hence, oil over monotype.

Sister piece to Birch Trunk #1, shown as a pairing in last image.

Oil over monotype, hand scroll paper. Mounted on bamboo scrolls top and bottom. Hahnnemühle copperplate bright paper. Signed and chopped. 16" x 48" - 2021.
