Original Oil - SILVER BIRCH - from Cedar Lake (Troy Stewart)

A favourite of the artist, silver birches are at once the focus and the "frame" for this lovely oil on canvas piece.  One feels as though one is standing amidst the trees, looking across at mountains or a treeline on the other side of the water. Yet, the scene is made even more magical by the artists choice of palette and finish. The luminescence paint captures and plays with the light - stunning.

Size: Framed to 9" x 11" in a solid wood 1 1/4" deep float frame made and painted in a taupe/grey by the artist. Oil on canvas. 

The Artist: Drawing was the one constant during Troy Stewart's childhood on the seas. Troy was born in the Caribbean and raised on a sailboat, eventually staying on land long enough to graduate from the Bristol Art College in the UK. Since settling in Canada, she has earned her keep as an award-winning graphic designer for both corporate clients and non-profit organizations, all the while continuing her art practice through painting, photography and life drawing. Most recently Troy (known as TUS on her artworks) has developed a habit with oil paints, and has carried her attention to texture, abstract form and natural beauty into her new work. Cambridge, Ontario is now home for Troy, but the magnificent and ever-present horizons of her childhood inspire her still, and often appear in her work consciously and unconsciously.
