From the Artist
“Backwater Tree” was inspired by my time canoeing on Diamond Lake, Oregon. I love the feeling of exploration as I paddle along the water’s edge and duck into the quiet little micro-climates that trees provide. It’s cool and calm, the play of shadow and light providing a rest for the eyes on a warm summers day.
About Watercolor Paintings
Often confused with pencil drawings, due to his fine brushwork and exacting detail, Eldon’s watercolor paintings can begin weeks in advance of the finished work. Sketches and planning often proceed these works with an eye towards bringing forward the spontaneity of the original spark of creation.
This is a wonderful way to own an original work and help support the artist’s continued efforts!
About The Frame
The artwork comes with a single mat. The wooden frame is hand-crafted and finished in chalk paint and bee’s wax for a natural feel and appearance. Eldon selects the frame that best complements the artwork. Each frame includes low reflective UV protective glass, increasing the lifespan of the artwork and improve your enjoyment of your investment.
We’ve done all the work of preparing your artwork. Upon receiving your new heirloom all you need to do is hang it on your wall and begin years of enjoyment!
Care and Feeding Instructions
