About the Item
This vibrant, vintage 1980s original painting by acclaimed Colorado Springs artist Mary Chenoweth is a captivating example of semi-abstract nature art. Featuring three stylized trees set against a bold, abstracted landscape, the composition bursts with energy through vivid tones of orange, red, brown, and blue.
Chenoweth skillfully blends acrylic paint with newspaper collage, creating a richly textured and layered mixed media piece that draws the viewer in. Her expressive use of line and color evokes a sense of motion and depth, while the abstracted natural forms offer a modern interpretation of the landscape.
