The Banyan Tree at Tolly

I painted this picture as a present for Viveck's 60th birthday! The Tolly club has some amazing trees! This is a very grand old Banyan and Viveck always says how wonderful it is to see it in all its many moods. This is the tree in Spring! I loved doing this picture. The challenge was to try and capture the magnificence of the tree...and the drama is in the tiny golfers near it, the many shades of greens, the brightness of a summer day!
