As the day wanes into a soft dusk, the oak tree in Van Cortlandt Park becomes not just a part of the landscape but a storyteller of the earth’s silent sonatas. This small 6×6 oil painting is my attempt to capture that narrative, to hold onto a moment of natural simplicity amidst the city’s ceaseless bustle. It’s a tribute to the silent, steadfast companionship that trees offer us.
