I was driving not too far from my home one afternoon and I saw this tree sitting in the middle of a field. Something about it just yelled out to me, so I had to draw it. Drawing the picture took me three months to get it just the way I liked it. I used Adobe Photoshop CS2 to try and minimize the effects of the scanner, and to add the black border along the side and bottom. However, it is blurry in some spots due to the scanner I used.
