Description
Tree and Lava – a blue crown in a gold wind
Wall art unfurls a wide blue crown across a gold-orange sky and stands it on a dark brown hill in the lower third of the canvas — modern painting in which the two halves of the colour wheel are set against each other with nothing to mediate.
Technique and texture
The sky is painted in short broad strokes running in several directions at once, which is what makes it swirl around the crown. The foliage is dabbed on in small clusters of two blues with the ground left visible between them. Trunk and branches were pulled in single strokes that taper to a hair at the tips.
The motif
The crown is not symmetrical — it reaches further left than right, and that gives the scene its direction. Small dark birds are scattered through the sky and repeat the blue of the leaves. Because the horizon sits low, the tree takes almost the whole canvas.
Setting and placement
Warm sky against cool crown is a hard contrast, so this one becomes the colour centre of a room whether or not it is asked to. The landscape crop suits the run of wall above a sofa or a long chest of drawers.

Choose the size that suits your wall.
Tree and Lava: matching the size to the wall
Above a 200 cm sofa, the blue crown on its gold-orange sky comes into its own at 140 x 110 cm; over a 180 cm double bed choose 120 x 95 cm, and over a 150 cm dining table 100 x 80 cm. A long hallway takes 150 x 115 cm, so the tree follows you along it. All 14 landscape sizes of Tree and Lava run from 50 x 40 to 220 x 170 cm, and the rule stays the same, with the crown covering about two thirds of the furniture’s width.
Select YES under Stretcher and the canvas with its dark brown hill is stretched on a wooden stretcher, ready to hang. A frame for the warm sky and cool crown is picked in the Frame menu, which begins at Without frame. The tree, birds and sky are hand-painted with a brush, and this painting is not printed. Tree and Lava reaches your door in 15–45 days.
