Winter's Trees


Framed. 24.5" x 36.25". Joanlee's oldest work; she did this at the age of 16 under the tutelage of artist Esther Reed. It shows her fascination with trees from the very beginning. The depth achieved with such a limited color palette here is striking. It could probably use a new frame to bring out the magic of the work; it's been in this one for four decades!
