Color as a Friend — Original Oil Painting

Color as a Friend is a forest opening with low sun over distant water. The light and color give it a calm feeling, with deep green, yellow, orange, blue carrying much of the mood. It can bring atmosphere into a room without making the space feel busy. The smaller shifts in light, color, and distance give the image more to discover over time.

Original oil painting: This is the one original painting of Color as a Friend. It measures 9×12 in and is currently available for $1,500.

From Nathan: What interested me most in this painting was the light. I wanted deep green and the surrounding colors to work together naturally, while keeping the scene calm and full of atmosphere. I like leaving enough room in a painting for the viewer to bring some of their own memories and feelings to it.
