Summer Repose is my latest wood relief cutout tree. The title Summer Repose came to me as I reflected on the many days I have been given to create art in my sister’s garden studio. I have had time to repose, think and contemplate all sorts of wonderful paintings. Summer in Helena is absolutely gorgeous and the temperatures are so mild and glorious for painting and sawing the wood cutouts. Indeed summer is now over as Mother Nature brought freezing temperatures and snow last night to the Helena Valley. I have brought in all my supplies, table, saws, paints and yes, even the tomatoes. Now it is time to embrace fall and all the days that lie ahead that offer so much color and transition.

This painting is constructed on a gallery box panel that was hand made from pine and birch wood and painted in acrylics.
