This original painting by Alberta artist Steve R. Mitts brings together the structured form of an old stone bridge with the lushness of a garden landscape. The bridge provides a strong, quiet presence within the abundance of surrounding greenery, while the two figures standing upon it seem almost enveloped by the landscape. Mitts combines contemporary structure with 16th Century Renaissance influences. Using a meticulous layering of acrylic washes and gels, he achieves a textured, stained glass finish. This piece is created on 100-year-old reclaimed grain bin wood, making the material as much a part of the story as the painting itself. Subtle vignettes, paintings within a painting, breathe quietly together in gentle harmony. Measures 10 x 10 x 1 1/8 inches deep.
