I recently finished a painting inspired by a hike at Deep Creek. Evidently the featured tree is a bristlecone pine. I’d love to share this with you.

That’s awesome Alexandra ! I like your style. And you really capture an old tree holding on.
I can see why you mentioned it – as photo one really looks like your work.
I’ve love to see those trees sometime, I enjoy hiking.
