This original painting by Alberta artist Steve R. Mitts tells two stories within the harvest landscape. Behind the stacked hay, a smitten violinist plays for an audience of one, while further in the distance another couple pauses from their work to enjoy the music as it softly carries across the fields. Two quiet moments, connected by music, affection, and the rhythm of the harvest. 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.
