There is an ancient olive tree high on a hill bent and growing in a garden that is very old where only gentle doves go to gather beneath the leaves and sample the olives, I'm told some say the tree is haunted by souls of those who long for peace no one really knows if the story is true but if you look close you may see a spirit in the gnarled trunk shadows a face that only shows to those who can hear the winds of change blow. Spirit In The Olive Tree prose by Carol Cavalaris © An ancient olive tree, gnarled and bent from age, with a spirit peace face in the trunk, and doves gathered below. This mixed media painting was inspired by my fascination with the beauty, strength and spirit of trees. And the story was inspired by the art. From my Story Art as well as Trees Collection. Created in Photoshop. Special thanks to Ilona Krijgsman for the use of her lovely dove photos. Hope you enjoy. :o) CC Copyright Notice: My images do not belong to the public domain and may not be used for any purpose without my permission.
