The sky’s reflection in the water is a reminder of the synergetic quality that demands that the branches reach upwards until their weight forces them to look downwards to the life-giving flow of the stream. The feeling is reflective.
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.
