Banyan Tree by Mary Murphy, artist. Banyan Tree is an original hand painted abstract landscape oil painting on canvas 20" x 20" x 3/4" with a 1.25" black frame. This colorful, painting was created en plein air (French for "open air") to capture the emotions of the landscape and bring them to you for your enjoyment. . It is contemporary in style with expressionism overtones.
This tree is on the grounds of the Court House in downtown Fort Myers, FL. This could brighten any area that needs a little color, perhaps in a den or child's room. A parent could ask: Where would a robin build its nest? Where would the squirrel climb? If you were in the painting, where could you hide? These questions and others would help the child to enjoy the painting.
