12 x 16 soft pastel on sanded paper. After 3 hurricanes hit Sarasota last year, we lost many old, established oak trees....but some are slowly recovering, and this is one of them. So beautiful to see the new growth from strong, stable limbs. So inspiring!

SOLD - x 9 Pastel Botti give it his all -- his show is a whole body experience, but I captured just his torso in this painting.
