Love your Oak. I painted one for my daughter's remodeled house. I love the negative spaces created by these majestic trees...

Sorry, Daniel, for the delayed response! I love the huge live oaks as well. It was a challenging photo in a lot of ways, but I ended up being quite pleased with the end result. Thanks for your feedback!
