Judy Hawkins has been drawn to and fascinated by the evolution of a tree from seed to decomposition. She has been photographing "elderly" trees for years. The woods around her rural Vermont house has abandoned orchards and old maples. Trees that she photographed last fall are now organic piles on the earth. "Old Soul" is one of Hawkins' newest paintings, an old maple tree with mushrooms and decomposition. Painted on gallery-wrapped canvas with painted sides and ready to hang. An archival varnish has been applied to protect the paintings vibrant colors.

Painting is framed with an attractive professionally made wooden frame which is 1" wide.
