Description
River through the Landscape II – five conifers on a bright bend
Painting on canvas winds a bright river through dark green-brown country in three bends, from the right edge down toward the lower left, and sets five conifers along it — abstract painting in everything but the subject, because the land is treated as impressed texture rather than as drawing.
Technique and texture
Thick relief layers were worked over with circular and wavy patterns that read from close up as impressed topography. The river is white and cream dropped in one stroke, glazed thinly in places so it never runs evenly bright. The sky above it was painted thin and smooth and carries no tool marks at all.
The motif
The conifers are small against the size of the canvas, and that is exactly what gives the country its scale. The hills behind them overlap in two planes, darker in front of lighter, which builds depth without a line of perspective anywhere. The river widens as it comes forward and closes the scene as a broad bright band across the bottom.
Setting and placement
Orange and earth do their best work where the room runs to grey or metal. The texture rewards a long look rather than a glance, so it belongs where people sit still rather than pass through.

Choosing a size
River through the Landscape II is made in 15 upright sizes, from 30 x 40 to 180 x 235 cm. A narrow wall beside a bookcase or an armchair takes 50 x 70 cm. Over a console around 110 cm wide, two thirds of its width points to 70 x 100 cm, and a tall stairwell wall can carry 120 x 155 or 130 x 170 cm, where the five conifers along the river get their proper scale. Select YES under Stretcher and the canvas with its orange-red sky arrives on a wooden stretcher, ready to hang. You may add a frame if you wish, but the Frame menu begins at Without frame and the relief land reads right to the edge without one. Delivery takes 15–45 days.
The painting is hand-painted on canvas – the pressed patterns in the green-brown ground and the one-stroke white river are not printed.
