A California live oak stood wide and grounded in the Arroyo Seco of Los Angeles, during a green spring, before fire changed the canyon. I was backpacking there one afternoon, when the land was still cool with shade and deeply alive. Its leaves were lit from behind, glowing softly, turning the light gentle. The trunks stretched low and outward in every direction, holding space the way these trees have for centuries.
For Los Angeles, these oaks are like guardians - grounding and life giving. This moment comes from before the burn, when the canyon was still green, and the trees were still holding us. Beneath the live oak, the air felt richer, the kind of breath that reminds you you are alive.
30”x48” oil painting done on high quality heavy cotton panel, comes FRAMED, and ready to hang. Done with all non-toxic paints and sealed with a natural varnish that gives a subtle lavender scent. Comes with a beautiful hand-signed certificate of authenticity
