Ancient Ones

0.0 x 0.0

The bristlecone pine trees are one of the oldest living organisms on earth - estimated at an age of up to 5,000 years old. They are also notoriously hard to get to -- requiring intense hiking in formidable circumstances. These "ancient ones" are located in the Great Basin National Park in Nevada, at the top of a mountain ridge, surrounded by cliffs, and growing directly out of huge broken rocks. The hike was worth it, though, as was waiting for the sun to light up the cliff face and the trees themselves. This painting is 30x40 and is oil on canvas, by Ron Larson
