This original painting by Alberta artist Steve R. Mitts explores a richly textured mixed-media painting framed in reclaimed wood. A young woman in a blue-green dress sits reading a book beside an ornate architectural interior, while a second figure peers through a large green curtain. Carved wood columns, patterned details, and a luminous landscape beyond the window create a layered composition that explores interaction, curiosity, and visual storytelling. 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 23 1/4 x 30 x 1 3/4 inches deep.
