This original painting by Alberta artist Steve R. Mitts presents the perfect place to pause and take in the surroundings. Mossy greens and turquoise blues weave through the landscape, their richness creating a gentle harmony of warmth and comfort. These primary hues soften the scene, enveloping both figure and setting in a tranquil atmosphere, and reinforcing the quiet sense of refuge the composition conveys.

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.
