Putting
a Pricetag on Nature's Preservation
by Jane Hoople, Artist, 2007Medium:
Acrylic
Size: 20"h x 24"w (not incl. hanging tag)
Availability:
I painted this tree as a tribute to the 250 year old Oak Tree that
survived the Bronte Road expansion this past fall. In fact, it's fate was
not truly secured until this winter, when the $343,000 pricetag was paid
in full to move the road around the tree. I also wrote the poem and hung
it around the painting, symbolic of the actual tree itself that had a
yellow ribbon tied around it for the months leading up to the final
decision by the city.
