Yesterday this piece of Jesse Miller's was sold to a private collection in Irvine, California. They are very excited to get it to their home and coordinate the proper lighting on the piece. It is called the 'tree of life'. My favorite part is how the same blue looking glass gives off different reactions for the ocean and horizon. The ocean blue leaded glass on the bottom left, leaves a ripple effect on the wall behind it. While just above in the blue sky, the glass leaves a clear smooth blue against the wall. I also feel that this is one of Jesse Miller's most ambitious carvings to date. He has done larger scale but, there is something beautiful and simple about carving a piece of tree into a tree. Truly, this painting, along with a handful painted since, represent a new level in Jesse's work. He is painting from the same mysterious place but with a stronger and sexy, more confident energy.
