This fictional landscape depicts a country ranch fence in the foreground and recedes to a stand of autumn trees. An undulating middle ground of undergrowth leads the eye to the horizon. The limited palette of sap greens and red ochre comes to life to produce a natural scene made by scraping into and wiping away the wet oil paint.

This is a signed original oil painting by Mark Laurence LaRiviere on a cradled birch panel. The panel was coated with three layers of Gesso and sanded to a smooth surface. This image was made without visual reference, a technique practiced by only a few landscape painters. It was painted on a 12" X 16" cradled panel using oil paint thinned using a high proportion of transparent medium.

Choose the framed version, and the painting arrives ready to hang right out of the box. The Natural Maple wood’s beauty and grain get center stage in this solid maple frame with a clear finish. The solid Walnut frame features a dark brown stain that allows the maple's natural beauty and grain to shine through.

With its 1½” rabbet and 1.5" height from the wall, the narrow face of these 1/4" wide frames sets off the work handsomely. We leave a 3/4" gap between the work and frame so the artwork will appear to “float” within the frame.

Signed on the back by the artist. Includes certificate of authenticity.
