This is a really cool piece from a private collection in Costa Mesa, CA. It is a Jesse Miller titled 'Hollow Tree'. Notice how this painting is the same upside down and right side up. Click on the image to enlarge it and look at the detail in the roots of the trees that needed to be perfectly reproduced. There are slight differences in the trees and waves but each side has its own special intricacies. Jesse Miller takes great pride in every tree he paints and these two are no exception. He also takes great pride with working with trees as this hand carved frame proves. Few other artists are currently as comfortable with the combination of avant-garde self expression and elegance.
