Here is “Birches in Clear Light.” This painting is 24″ x 30″, oil and cold wax on canvas.
This painting is similar in its composition to my previous artwork “Clear Light,” but this painting features the trunks of paper birch trees, with a warm color palette of oranges and reds.
Dazzling sunlight
The focus of the painting is a blinding white sun shining from between the two tree trunks, the rays of light forming a dramatic lens flare effect, with dots of light twinkling in the background.
Foliage fills the background in shades of orange-brown, yellow, and red.
The surface of the canvas has a very thick texture, created with oil colors and cold wax.
Up close, the brush strokes are very loose and abstract.
This painting has deep edges, with the painting continuing around onto the sides of the stretched canvas.
When displayed in an interior, this artwork becomes a luminous focal point.
The birches’ vertical lines draw the eye upward, opening up the room and lending a feeling of spaciousness. The serene palette and organic forms introduce tranquility and a touch of the outdoors, making any space feel more welcoming and peaceful.
The painting’s interplay of light and texture stirs memories of quiet walks, fresh starts, and simple beauty.
