I once imagined a land made up completely of trees and flowers…I called it Petalunia. Petalunia is a mythical place where the sky is a mosaic of smiling, happy bloom and the trees stand in line holding branches in organized harmony. The feeling is gentle.
The painting is executed in a unique Spontaneous Texturism style – an innovative way of painting in thick oils with bright colors, fluid motion, and engaging texture - pioneered by the artist, Kenneth Halvorsen. Canvas is stretched on a heavy-duty 1.5” wide wooden stretcher bar in a gallery wrap style with painting going on all 4 sides, hardware attached, and ready to hang, no frame is needed.
