This painting started with sculpting the tree with a palette knife and layers of thick textural medium. Layering earthy rust right over moody blues gives the trunk actual physical weight, making the bark pop dimensionally with that punchy yellow background. Indigo Noon was a lot of fun to paint from building up the medium to letting the vibrant colors fight it out.

It's hard not to be inspired by nature. I'm always looking for that next scene to paint, noticing how a place makes me feel, looking at light and shadow, taking photos, and capturing that feeling on the canvas. And, of course, always seeing everything in full, vibrant color.

Each original painting is framed and ready to hang. To complement the unique character and palette of every work, I personally select and pair each with a frame—these are not interchangeable options, but an intentional part of the finished artwork. You will find the specific frame material listed directly in the title of each piece.

Solid Maple, Walnut, or Oak: Set in a handmade solid wood floater frame created specifically for the artwork and hand-finished with natural beeswax.
Solid Wood Painted Frame: Set in a handmade solid wood floater frame (crafted from cherry, birch, or maple) created specifically for the artwork, hand-painted in a custom color chosen to complement the piece and hand-finished with natural beeswax.
Black or Gold Acrylic: Set in a sleek, contemporary acrylic floater frame.
