If you love the fresh colors of springtime, this illusion painting of a blossoming crabapple is perfect for your fine art collection. This painting has been varnished and has been framed in an archival frame specially made for it. A certificate of authenticity is included.

Engaging Art Process Videos: The illusion process videos were posted on social media on June 4th, 2024. Scroll down to see the full process video as well as a brief process lapse. Additional shortform content is available on my social media channels.

The Location and Crab Apple Trees: This painting was created at a boat launch and botanical garden in North Tonawanda, NY in April of 2024. The launch is on the historic Erie Canal. The crab apple trees are at their peak bloom for only a few short weeks of the year, so I prioritized painting as many flowering trees as I could during 2024’s spring. Crabapple trees have been treasured throughout history; they’ve been considered to banish evil while also representing love and wisdom.

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 crabapple trees and North Tonawanda

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.
