I
passed this ancient apple tree on Mann Road for several summers before drawing
it.
I marveled at how this hollowed, shriveled shell of a tree stayed alive year
after year.
While
in the midst of drawing its fruit and its sinuous lumps and bumps,
the tree was unceremoniously cut down.
This
print survives as a testament to its tenacity.
