Delve into the inspiration behind his ambitious project to intricately depict 'the most important oak trees' in Britain, a venture he embarked on at the age of 60.

Through his artwork, Frith beautifully captures the essence of Britain's ancient oaks, showcasing a deep-rooted connection with nature that resonates with viewers.

At the age of 71, he continues his artistic journey by embarking on a new series featuring Britain's ancient ash trees.
