The Salem Oak

Acrylics on Gessobord - 6" x 6" - by Kimberly English ©

This painting was created as a tribute to the Salem Oak Tree for the 2015 Salem County Arts in Bloom Studio Tour. I worked from a photograph taken by Janice Chassier, a fellow Arts in Bloom Artist. I loved the unusual perspective of the tree because it also included the Salem Oak Diner, a favorite dining spot for locals. I believe the title gives both landmarks recognition and allows the viewer to determine which one is most important to them.
