A fall tree original painting with a defiant display of early autumn color. The palette knife beautifully captures the paper-like bark of each tree trunk with its golden foliage. Blue and yellow colors visually harmonize the energetic scene.

Behind the Canvas

The wooded area around my home is being cleared for new homes. Many of the new homeowners choose to clear cut their properties. Most of this beautiful stand of birch trees and aspen trees was cut down shortly after I painted it. I could almost feel its defiance as it majestically held up its beautiful limbs...for the last time.

If you look closely you may recognize this birch tree and aspen tree forest from a few of Tali’s other landscape tree paintings. namely: 

Welcome Home - An oil painting of the embrace of a birch tree's glittering green foliage

Unexpected Path - A fanciful trip between soft pastel painted tree trunks

Redemption - Celebratory red autumn tree landscape painting rendered in oil paint

“This morning, the sun endures past dawn. I realize that it is August: the summer's last stand.” - Sara Baume

Production & Printing

While my family and I handle the design and creation of each artwork, the printing and shipping processes are sometimes managed by professional partners who share my commitment to quality and ethics. I carefully vet all printing partners to ensure they meet my own standards of locality, rigorous environmental and labor standards.

  • 𝗘𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴: My chosen printers use eco-friendly materials and practices, including sustainable inks and responsibly sourced wood and canvases. This commitment helps minimize the environmental impact of each print.
  • 𝗙𝗮𝗶𝗿 𝗟𝗮𝗯𝗼𝗿 𝗣𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀: I collaborate with printing facilities that adhere to fair labor practices, ensuring that every person involved in the process is treated with respect and paid fairly.

By outsourcing to trusted professionals, we can focus on creating unique, high-quality art while ensuring that every step of the production process aligns with ethical standards.
