This is original painting by Alberta artist Steve R. Mitts shows a lone woman looking down from the cliffs overlooking the vast ocean, waiting for someone or something. She is nestled within a fluctuating forest landscape, her presence framed by the dark, reaching branches of trees that lean over the precipice.The rugged, organic lines of the frame contrast with the segmented wooden blocks of the internal painting, grounding the "fluctuating terrain" within a timeless, solid boundary.

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 11 1/4 x 11 1/4 x 1 1/8 inches deep.
