The Silk Road
I was lucky enough, while in Oman to see, photograph, and draw the Frankincense tree in bloom. I used this plant as a central image here as well as framing motif. The Frankincense tree grows only in Southern Arabia and Somalia, and in times past was worth its weight in gold and traded in Asia, Africa, and Europe.
