Description
Painted 'en plein air' on the Greek island of Kalymnos, these ancient olive trees were an amazing sight - with their intricately twisted and gnarled trunks telling their story of survival over many years. Some of the trees in this grove are purported to be over 1000 years old! Amazing!

I like the way you used pen in the back ground with just enough watercolor on the tree and scrubs. Great effect. V/f
