This portfolio features my original, one-of-a-kind hand-painted portraits of historic Southern live oak trees, primarily in Louisiana.

Each work begins as a black-and-white photograph printed on cotton canvas, which I then paint by hand using translucent layers of oil color. These paintings are personal interpretations of the light, atmosphere, and sense of place I experienced when I first photographed each tree. Print sizes vary and custom commissions are available. 

Signed, limited-edition reproductions of selected works are also available in larger sizes. Each reproduction is individually hand-finished, giving it a character of its own.

In these tree portraits, I hope to convey something of the individual character and enduring presence of these remarkable living landmarks.
