Using her signature blend of impressionism and realism, the piece features a large tree inhabited by the playful figures of children, surrounded by lush, green foliage.When asked about her inspiration for the piece, Oldhues said: “I was really influenced by my own childhood, my grandparents used to have this property on a lake that had these huge trees and these tire swings, and I've just been spending a lot of time with them at the end of their life recently and just remembering those times. I noticed that this area itself is pretty industrial, although it's surrounded by these trees and the beautiful view, and so I wanted to bring a bit of that fun playfulness and nature.\"","author_name":"Nelson Mural Fest","author_url":"https://streetartcities.com/users/0c883fd9-a346-4e29-badc-154d506c05f8","thumbnail_url":"https://streetartcities.com/media/f/ff1834ba-2190-4cc9-b974-38774cef69ec/1024.jpg","thumbnail_width":1024,"width":480,"height":480,"html":"","cache_age":3600}
