Gnarled

"Gnarled"

by Artist Ramona Hoeft

Portrays an ancient tree, a silent sentinel at one of the entrances to Yosemite, where one can only wonder about the stories it holds. This tree's robust trunk twists and turns as it stretches towards the heavens, its dark green branches creating a captivating contrast. The backdrop features an upper sky painted in serene shades of light blue and yellow, while closer to the horizon, the sky transitions into a vivid blend of orange, purple, and blue, setting a remarkable stage for this venerable guardian of the park.

Original textured painting on canvas with 1.5" deep wood frame.
