A solitary pine tree with gnarled, windswept branches stands silhouetted against a dramatically layered sky of orange, yellow, and green, its dark form dominating the composition in stark contrast to the luminous water and distant hills beyond. The artist renders the landscape in bold, expressive strokes with rich jewel tones and earthy reds in the foreground, capturing the raw energy of the Canadian wilderness at dusk. Bound with 52 pages of 70lb paper, lined or unlined, behind an anti-scuff matte cover with wraparound artwork, made to order. Notes and sketches kept behind an independent artist's work, not a plain composition cover.
