About the Item
This evocative contemporary abstract landscape painting depicts a solitary, vine-covered apple tree within a quiet orchard setting, executed in gouache and colored pencil. Layered, brushy passages of gouache form the lush greens of the tree and surrounding orchard, while delicate lines of colored pencil weave through the composition, adding structure, movement, and subtle pops of color.
The vertical form of the tree anchors the work, with cascading foliage contrasted by fine, linear marks that suggest dormant branches and trailing vines reaching into the open sky. A softly atmospheric background of pale sky tones and distant landforms creates depth and stillness, allowing the interplay between painterly texture and precise line to remain the focal point.
Nuanced shades of sage, olive, and moss are balanced by touches of lavender, charcoal, and translucent white, lending the piece a distinctly contemporary sensibility rooted in observation and memory. The artist’s intuitive process blurs the boundary between abstraction and landscape, inviting viewers to engage with the orchard not as a literal place, but as an emotional and temporal experience.
This nature-inspired abstract artwork evokes themes of endurance, renewal, and cyclical growth, making it an ideal statement piece for modern, organic, or minimalist interiors. Highly appealing to collectors of contemporary fine art, mixed media landscapes, and abstract botanical works, this painting offers both visual richness and quiet sophistication.

Sandy Litchfield
Sandy Litchfield uses a range of painterly mediums in her work along with collage and digital imagery. Her process involves gathering and piecing together fragments of collected imagery, which she then assembles into various configurations until they begin to make sense as a compositional whole. Her method of layering imagery, cutting, drawing, tearing, painting, scanning, printing and gluing obscures the distinctions between the mechanical image and the handmade. The fractured and rebuilt landscapes she creates are suggestive of a damaged place with fertile remains. Born in New York, NY, Litchfield currently lives in Amherst, Massachusetts where she is an Assistant Professor at the University of Massachusetts. Litchfield received her BFA from the University of Colorado in Boulder and her MFA in 2003 from UMass Amherst. In 2007 she attended the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture. Her work has been exhibited in numerous museums including the DeCordova Museum, The Portland Art Museum and The Hunterdon Museum. Litchfield is a recipient of the Massachusetts Cultural Council Fellowship and the Puffin Foundation Artists Grant Award. She’s had solo exhibitions at Carroll and Sons Gallery in Boston, Metaphor Contemporary Art in Brooklyn as well as several New England Colleges. Her work has been selected for review by The Brooklyn Rail, New American Paintings and The Boston Globe.

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 (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...
