It was a steep and treacherous hike up the mountain in the Adirondacks. A wild region full of deer, herons, and chipmunks. You may even find a moose, coyote, or black bear on these trails. The dense pine forest opens up to a meadow full of brisk autumn air. There is a startling calmness. And from this view, it's as if we can see all six million acres of this park.
It's framed by Gianluca Moretti using yellow poplar wood, and finished with acrylic semi glossy. Gianluca is a woodworker that I partner with on Etsy. You can see more of his frames and more of his pieces at his shop located at: www.etsy.com/shop/MorettisCreations.

This painting would look best in a space that is red, orange, purple, yellow, green, blue, beige, or wood.

Our bikes race up and down the gentle hills of Provence. Everything has a distinct texture, the colors are vibrant, and the perfume in the air is intoxicating. And every twisting road we turn down has countless rows of purple lavender and yellow sunflowers. The heat of the Mediterranean sun presses against our backs as we pedal back to the village of Sault. I'll never forget the fields of France.
This painting would look best in a space that is yellow, orange, blue, white, or beige.

Birch trees have always been a meditative source for me. Growing up, there was one outside my window that I would look at while daydreaming. And, when I needed to get away from the world I went to a grove of Birch trees to find refuge. I’ve always found the unique and nearly useless white tree interesting.

It's early on the Sunday morning. Too early to watch football. Too late to stay in bed. Still need a pick-me-up. So, I put some grounds and water into the French Press. Watch the deer graze in the backyard as it brews. Put the dog on the leash, fill a couple of travel mugs with coffee, and take a walk around the neighborhood. I wish every morning was like this.
This piece would work in a space that is deep red, burnt orange, yellow, green, ultramarine blue, lavender purple, wood, or a neutral beige
