Orchards of Puglia II

Orchards of Puglia II, 2017. I came across a story from 2015 of farm fields of old olive trees in Puglia, Southern Italy, endangered by the ravaging bacterial disease destroying what is considered a cultural identity of this area. Many trees are hundreds of years old, some dating back to the Roman period. The struggle continues, and with my passion for olive trees and orchards that I depict often in my artworks, I am adding my small contribution to raise awareness of this problem, that is threatening to spread to the rest of Europe. Painting is on a deep edge canvas, painted on the sides and can be either mounted, or hung on the wall as it is. Certificate of authenticity by me is included.
