THE LEGACY OF ANCIENT OAKS-DRAWINGS BY MARK FRITH

Filmmaker and artist Mark Frith in 2011, began a project which was commissioned by the late publisher and poet Felix Dennis to draw 20 large scale, intricate portraits of Britain’s ancient oak trees. Each graphite drawing measures 59" x 51". Many of the trees are over a thousand years old.
