I love the perspective of this first shot. I know the angle isn’t a normal view, if you had this hung in your house, but I just think it’s so badass and cool and it’s my account so I can post it and y’all will just have to deal 😆😜. But really, thanks for all the love you’ve shown me on this piece so far. I’m really proud of it and can’t wait to make more versions of this design. 💙🌾

Isn`t this live oak tree tunnel beautiful? Live oak, draped in Spanish moss, is emblematic of South Carolina and many of the Southern states. We love these iconic trees, not only for their beauty, but their history as well. The average lifespan of a live oak is 300 years!
