This original landscape by Alberta artist Steve R. Mitts features a solitary, resiliant tree perched on a rocky cliffside, overlooking a peaceful endless valley. The composition uses a unique modular wood block design that creates a window-like perspective of rlling hills and expansive sky.

Mitts combines contempory 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. Measures 14 1/4 x 14 1/4 x 1 1/2 inches deep.
