When I first ran across Tracy Melton's Tree Ring paintings, I was instantly drawn to their beautiful colors and, of course, unusual 'canvases'. The wood comes from dead Elm trees which Tracy cuts down himself with a chainsaw. The pieces are then sanded and clear coated three times to accentuate the wood. Using acrylic, Tracy then paints the bold, colored rings, followed by another clear coat. Each painting is hollowed out from behind for easy hanging and signed and dated by the artist. Available in sets of 3.
Can you just imagine an entire wall covered with these?? What a conversation piece THAT would be! Definitely gives me some ideas...
