I crafted this illusion of a deeply colored crabapple tree in full bloom. It has been varnished and archivally framed to ensure ideal display and lasting preservation. A certificate of authenticity and additional info about the location and subject are included.
Engaging Art Process Videos: The illusion process was posted on social media on July 11th, 2024. Scroll down to see the full process video as well as a brief process lapse. View additional shortform content on my social media channels.
Location and Crabapple Trees: This painting was created at a dock in North Tonawanda along the historic Erie Canal. I eagerly awaited the arrival of spring to capture the crabapple trees at their peak bloom. Native to temperate regions, crabapple trees are valued for their beautiful blossoms and resilience. They symbolize hope, love, and renewal, and are a favorite of birds like orioles, which are often seen flitting among the spring blossoms.
Key Features:
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 provides UV protection while offering clear, glare-free viewing
Ready to hang (wired) and certificate of authenticity included
Geolocation of painting site and facts included about subject and site
Environmental Responsibility: Created with high-efficiency, solvent-free methods that reflect years of intentional, low-impact practice. Shipped with high-end gallery packing practices and intentionally sustainable, recyclable materials.
