Oil painting with a touch of pastel overworked on the surface, this female torso has the rings of time or age of a tree, found alone in a bed of greenery.

The tree sprouts beneath the torso and has taken on the shape of the human form, a departure from the other trees the artist has created, which have the figure obscured by the trees.

Featured in the book, "The Life within the Trees."

Edges are painted black so you can display the painting without a frame.
