Original mixed media oil painting on stretched canvas, with painting continuing onto the sides of the canvas.

Trees are fascinating in so many ways! The way their branches twist and turn… the way their leaves sound as they bristle in the wind… the way they grow and change with each season. And that’s not to mention all the ways they contribute to the environment and our overall wellbeing.

How often do you get the chance to lay in the grass and look up through the trees, daydreaming about who knows what, just enjoying the moment without a worry in the world? If you’re like most people, probably not often enough.

“Things Are Looking Up” is the latest painting in my “Looking Up” series. The dramatic branches and delicate colors sprinkled throughout this mesmerizing piece literally dance on the textured canvas, instantly taking viewers to a state of peace and tranquility.
