This is another one of my etchings with an interesting history that I can't explain in this space. I have spent many happy hours hiking in the woods in several states. In some cases, the forests were very heavy and dense. Occasionally, you'd make a turn on the trail or enter a clearing and come across a huge old tree, one that was very old, maybe 100 years or more. They are the lords of the forest and I've always felt a deep reverence for these old trees. In this image, I've attempted to capture the majesty of this old giant nestled deep in the woods among its younger subjects.
This is a four plate etching and aquatint. The image is 8-7/8 by 11-11/16 inches. There is an edition of 4 plus 3 artist's proofs.
