Measurements: 15″ x 11″ From The Artist: Abstract Expressionism is my chosen style, through which I depict the dynamic shifts in everyday life – from the impact of the pandemic and wars to economic fluctuations, climate transitions, and technological advancements. Each artwork embarks on a journey from abstraction to versatility, refraining from providing explicit solutions. Instead, I entrust the viewers with the task of finding their own interpretations. The constant barrage of news and media, a relentless 24/7 presence, alters the very essence of existence, yet maintaining composure amid the chaos is paramount. Progress is achieved step by step, in harmony with nature's guidance. Indeed, painting stands as a precious gift, offering a means of connection and expression.

Vintage Upstate New York Original Painting Sugar Maple In Snow 1970 In Frame NY

A lovely little painting on board or artist board of a Sugar Maple tree in Upstate New York, titled on back. There is also a note “by the Mother at the Convent 1970” That line has lines through it, but the initial signature of the artist on the front lower corner of painting has a Christian symbol after it. So this likely was by the Mother. The painting is probably oil but might be acrylic? It has a greyed winter feeling, like a dark snowy day. The painting is 10 inches tall and 8 inches wide including frame. The frame is a period wood frame that likely was the original frame put on the painting. Light wear to frame.
