About the Item

Brad Davis's "Ohio River Spider" is an oil painting on wood panel, measuring 12 x 18 inches unframed and 14 x 20 inches framed. This striking depiction portrays an expansive, deeply textured root system sprawling from a sturdy tree, reminiscent of a spider's intricate form, firmly anchoring itself to the forest floor. Davis skillfully captures the organic complexity of the roots, with rich, earthy hues that emphasize natural patterns and shadow interplay. The surrounding foliage is subtly illuminated with dappled sunlight, showcasing hints of autumnal yellows and greens, adding warmth and depth to the scene. The detailed brushwork brings out tactile sensations of rough bark and the softness of fallen leaves, while the muted backdrop provides a tranquil contrast. The piece evokes contemplation of nature’s resilience and interconnectedness, highlighting the artist's profound ability to reveal the extraordinary within seemingly ordinary natural forms. Elegantly presented in a simple, modern frame, this painting arrives ready to hang, making it an ideal addition to both contemporary and traditional collections.

Tangled Tree - Luminous Oil Painting of Tree
By Jeff Aeling
Located in Chicago, IL
This intimate woodland scene connects to Aeling’s lifelong exploration of the hidden, overlooked spaces within larger landscapes. The twisting vines and dense verticals show his fascination with natural complexity, reminiscent of his early interest in organic forms and his deep study of drawing from life. The luminous clearing in the distance creates a path of visual escape—one of Aeling’s characteristic compositional strategies, reflecting his belief that landscapes should guide the viewer through space as a lived experience, not merely a view. Jeff Aeling Tangled Tree oil on panel 24h x 16w in 60.96h x 40.64w cm JAE056 Jeff Aeling (1958–2025): The Sky Remembers Through Jeff Aeling’s eyes, the landscape becomes a world shaped as much by air as by earth. In works such as North of Las Vegas, NM and Pond Near St. Cloud, MN, he balances the quiet structure of plains and wetlands with skies alive in constant motion. His mastery of atmosphere is unmistakable in Light Pillars (2023) and Light Pillar (2023), where rare optical events turn night into architecture. Even intimate scenes like Crabapple, Dogwoods, and Red Bud find their emotional power under skies that lend the land its shifting character. Aeling’s winters in Hawaii deepened his sensitivity to movement and weather. Surfing taught him to read the rhythm of the ocean, a knowledge reflected in Wave, Kauai (2018), where a breaking wave becomes a luminous wall of force. In Volcano (2023), he channels the islands’ elemental drama, linking fire, vapor, and sky through the same atmospheric vocabulary found in his plains paintings...
