Aylard's Apple Trees

This painting resulted from a visit to East Sooke Park on Vancouver Island.  Part of the park consists of remnants an old farmstead call Aylard Farm and these old apple trees with their organic twisted limbs provided the perfect inspiration.
This is an 8x10 oil painting on birch panel.  Available
