Hollow Tree

The heartwood of this oak has hollowed out by fungal decay, creating an intriguing cylindrical cavity within its trunk. The tree is sustained only by the outer rings of sapwood that continue to channel life-giving nutrients.

This painting captures a breathtaking interplay of texture and rich colour hidden within. Light dances over the internal structures and illuminates the intricate patterns of decomposing wood.

The painting offers a testament to how its ongoing decay has revealed its inner beauty.
