Painting Tropical Leaves

About this piece

Leaves fill this canvas edge to edge: greens first, then the pinks and purples tropical foliage actually turns when light comes through it. No horizon, no sky, only layered growth, which is why the painting reads as a window into a forest instead of a picture of one. At 47.2 × 35.4 in that density covers a serious stretch of wall, enough to change the temperature of a bedroom or a den, and acrylic fits the subject: the color stays saturated and the edges stay crisp.

This canvas is sold and will not be repeated as it was. While it was available it was listed at $385, a fair reference point for anyone weighing a commission at similar scale. The page stays in the catalog as portfolio and shows one direction a botanical commission can go.

Foliage runs through the studio’s work in more than one material: the hand-tufted half of the catalog carries tropical and abstract leaf motifs in yarn. So a commission can go two ways, a new leaf painting sized to your wall or the same motif carried over into a rug. For a painting the route is the studio’s usual one: subject and size agreed up front, the original painted by Ksenia Derr and signed as always, and the finished canvas traveling unstretched in a tube, ready to be stretched once it lands.
