This original painting by Alberta artist Steve R. Mitts presents "Grace,” part of the Constance Motif series. It reflects a continued exploration of steadfast presence. A quiet figure emerges through a constructed field of wood and paint, where fragmentation reinforces continuity. Structure and surface work together to hold the image in a state of calm resilience—an enduring stillness that persists through time and change.

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 27 1/4 x 33 3/4 nches deep.
