Black Walnut Tree: Framed Plein Air Color Match Illusion
This oil painting captures a black walnut tree in peak foliage on the windiest of days. It was crafted as an illusion - scroll down to see the process videos. The colors meld between bright yellows, warm browns, dark greens, and hints of blue where the sky had peeped through.
Environmental Responsibility: Created with high-efficiency, solvent-free methods that reflect years of intentional, low-impact practice.
Black Walnut Trees: Native to Western New York, black walnut trees are best found along rivers and streams like this one off the Niagara. Their deep roots help hold the soil in place, protecting the shoreline from erosion. Long prized for their rich hardwood and nourishing nuts, they’ve supported both wildlife and people for centuries. Symbolically, they stand for strength, protection, and abundance.

Original varnished plein air oil painting (3.3” x 2.3”) on archival Bristol board
Black frame (6.5” x 5”) custom-built for the piece
Mounted with archival (non-damaging) methods on archival double matting
Museum glass for UV protection and nearly invisible viewing
