In Irish tradition, the oak is Dair — among the most revered letters of the Ogham, ancient symbol of strength, endurance, and protection. Here the Live Oak, most characteristic tree of the Texas coastal plain, carries that inheritance. Dark branches spread across a ground of deep crimson, their rounded leaves rendered in collage and paint — turquoise, coral, green, and gold. A blue jay keeps watch from the upper left. Geometric forms associated with the Divine Feminine float among the branches, and the words PROTECTION and TRUTH are written into the composition itself. The Ogham stave for Dair marks the right edge.
