This original painting by Alberta artist Steve R. Mitts feels like a small window cut into the landscape, as if peering through a weathered structure into a quiet, remembered place. The reclaimed wood is integral to the composition, its segmented beams forming a shallow relief that both frames and fragments the view. 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 9 3/4 x 9 3/4 x 1 1/8 inches deep.
