Ogham Tree Alphabet Paintings
I am working on this series, which will be around 23 paintings. Each one is a character in the Ogham Gaelic alphabet, and a tree. I started with Fearn, which is the alder. there are many species. then I did Saille, or Willow, and finally Luis, or Rowan. In the USA the rowan tree is known as the Mountain Ash.
