This painting was created en-plein air, meaning on location. This is a quick way to describe and to memorize something that Oksana saw on one of her walkabouts. Snapping a photograph takes only mere seconds, but the minutes spent painting help the scene to sink into the memory. This time, she saw an amazing tree that definitely had some struggle to survive. It has been broken and bent by the elements, but still had young leaves forming. This tree is the symbol of human nature to achieve and to carry on. No matter the struggle, we will persevere while we can.
