Ode to Life and Light

Ode to Life and Light is a sunset landscape with wind-bent tree and glowing horizon. The light and color give it a exultant feeling, with gold, orange, yellow, violet, deep green 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.

Ode to Life and Light is available as a print for people who want to bring its exultant feeling into their home. Its light and color work especially well in a space that could use warmth and glow, without overwhelming the room. The print is an easy way to live with the image while keeping the focus on the painting itself.

Printed on stretched canvas with black sides. This is an open-edition print made from Nathan's original painting.

From Nathan: What interested me most in this painting was the light. I wanted gold and the surrounding colors to work together naturally, while keeping the scene exultant 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.

Original painting: The 9×12 in original is currently available for $1,500.
