Purple Mountains Painting

This oil painting on wood panel incorporates gestural yet contained forms that overlap and "grow" from each other to create an image of a field of flowers with mountains and sky in the distance. The artist worked on the piece for many years, painstakingly building up small shapes of color to reveal the final exuberant image. The painting was finished with a wax medium, which gives a beautifully buttery cohesive "matte" texture to the surface. May be hung unframed with the wood panel sides showing, or framed to your preference.
