Tree of Life | Etz Hayyim

The Tree of Life, Etz Hayyim, is ubiquitous in Jewish liturgy and art. In the Torah the Etz Hayyim is referred to as the Tree of Life in the Garden of Eden and metaphorically as the Torah. I've illustrated it in deeply saturated lush colors. The original was painted using watercolor dyes, then scanned at a high resolution. It professionally printed as a giclée print (uses archival ink)  on 100% cotton, acid-free paper.
