Soul of an Old Olive Tree (pastel) by Polly CastorDuring our recent trip to Italy, I studied olive trees at length, particularly the old ones. I took so many photos of them, I haven’t begun to edit them. This visceral painting is my first abstract response to those sage old souls I saw in Tuscany.
This painting is 19″x25″ and done in pastel.

What do you think of it? Would you rather it be more representational, like the work I did while I was there?
Very nice!!!
