 Down by the River is a mixed media collage featuring the beautiful bark of the sycamore tree. I saved the paper like bark from a tree that had to be removed from my Mom's property in Tennessee. The paper like texture was worth an extra piece of luggage on my flight back last month.

 Lake Moultrie, Georgia, on a very calm overcast evening; Cypress reflections. Lake Moultrie Photography 10 x 15 $180 Stanley Bysshe |  A heavy snow in the Hayden Valley, Yellowstone N.P. left a blank canvas. A fox slept out the storm under a single tree and left in the morning. Fox Trail Photography 10 x 15 $180 Stanley Bysshe |  Memories of the Great North Woods in the summer and the anticipation of the coming autumnal blaze of color played in my mind as I painted this third in a series of red reflections in the lake.

 The coastal lowlands at night, the magic of moonlight, and the dominance of the trees over the understory inspired this rather mysterious view of trees.

Perfect Little Hill Metallic Print 12 x 12 $299 Buzz Covington |  Sunset Oil 17 x 13 $285 Charles Emmling |  This gorgeous tree - known as "araguaney" or "flor amarillo" - is a favorite in South America due to the intensity of its yellow flowers. I chose to paint it when I found an old photograph which depicted the tree at its most beautiful stage. Araguaney en Flor Oil 8 x 10 $149 Maria Fiorella |
 I found the combination of a pink sky, pink flowers and a yellow tree a most interesting combination of colors, even though they are not complimentary colors. This was the view I had on a late afternoon looking towards the west in Virginia. Yellow and Pink Oil 8 x 10 $149 Maria Fiorella |  After a long, cold winter, suddenly the days are long and, for a brief instant, trees erupt in glorious bloom.

 Roosevelt Island is a quiet surprise for walking trails beneath shade trees. I enjoy the peace being there brings me. Roosevelt Island Acrylic 30 x 24 $125 Heather Gradison |  Living in northern Minnesota, birch trees were everywhere. They were absolutely stunning whether in spring with their new green leaves emerging or in fall when they wore their yellow jackets. But it was in winter when the stark bare branched trees were backlit by the setting sun that was absolutely an awesome sight. Backlit Birches Acrylic 12 x 12 $175 Susan Gring |  I was inspired by the peeling bark on one of the birch trees next to our neighborhood pond. It was certainly a challenge to paint it! Birch Tree on the Pond Oil 24 x 24 $625 Melinda Harleman |

Lone Tree Oil 24 x 30 $650 Ane Haycraft |  Here I convey a place of imagination--starkly contrasting a cool, completely blank vista with a warm, dense line of trees. The virtually colorless vista is eternal; the intensely colored foliage is seasonal. All in all, a life metaphor. The Trees Acrylics 36 x 24 $695 Michael Heenan |  Grand tree watching over the golden fields. Over See-er Oil 18 x 24 $800 Lorrie Herman |
 I snapped the reference photo for this painting as I was walking up a rise and saw the light through the trees. I tried to capture the light brightening the turning leaves on this early autumn morning. Beeches Just Turning Oil on Canvas 16 x 12 $525 Stuart Hindle |  I lived in the Czech Republic and hiked many a trail in the autumn. The leaves of the birch trees were unusually bright with a range of colors against the dark pines. In the studio, I pushed the range of warm colors and bright yellows to develop a striking contrast with the dark background. Pines and Birches Oil on Canvas 20 x 16 $695 Stuart Hindle |  On this cool morning in the woods, the sun had not yet burned off the mist.

What caught my eye is the golden hues of the hills with the striking blacks of the cows and the beautiful oak trees. Oaks, Cows and Rolling Hills Photography on Canvas 24 x 18 $390 Sherri Holdridge |  As I painted this scene from my imagination, I tried to capture the feeling and the mood of a stormy September afternoon. I paint in the tradition of the American Tonalists of the 19th century whose contemplative and poetic works were thought to provide solace and respite from a war torn and increasingly industrial world. It is my hope that viewers of my work find a place where they can rest a moment. September Storm Oil on Canvas 16 x 20 $950 Laura Hopkins |
 This painting is a result of my ongoing studies of the dramatic and expressive work of the historic American Tonalist Franklin De Haven. Winds of Autumn Oil on Linen Wrapped Panel 8 x 10 $425 Laura Hopkins |  This painting is from imagination and memory, as most of my paintings are. I think that each viewer has a unique experience with a painting entirely separate from my experience painting it. As you look at the painting from across the room and at the various passages from a closer view, you bring your own memories and experiences to bear on what you take in and what resonates with you. This idea, that a painting can mean different things to different people is what keeps me coming back to the eas |  Every year I go for a visit to the Virginia Arboretum to see the gorgeous ginkgos. Surrounded by gold, it is always a glorious experience! In the Grove Acrylic 20 x 30 $1950 Kathleen Howsare |
 I’m so attracted to back lit subjects especially trees! This morning the sun broke through the fog and sends it’s glowing light through the fall foliage. Burning Off Acrylic 11 x 14 $475 Kathleen Howsare |  Years ago, when it was very popular to make a reproduction or Giclee, I thought I would try it with one of my abstract paintings. The result was very disappointing, and I ended up putting it in storage for many years. Something strange happened when I saw it again. All I could see was the palm tree and the coconuts. The entire palm tree was painted using the background to my advantage. Coconut Palm Tree Acrylic on Recycled Giclée 30 x 40 $650 Ligia Inra |  It was one of those days when you wake up with a smile on your face and you hope the day goes well. That wonderful feeling continued through the morning thanks to the beauty of this trees. Delightful Acrylic 11 x 14 $250 Lizzy Javier |
 Redbud trees always make me feel the real sign of Spring. These beautiful purple redbuds were along the Blue Ridge mountain range in Bedford, Virginia. The glorious sunset threw a beautiful glow on the trees. First Signs of Spring Oil on Canvas 8 x 6 $185 Doris Jenkins |  I was driving some back roads in Aldie and took this picture. I wanted to capture this beautiful cherry tree that caught my eye. I loved the contrast of the fence and shadows in the photo and hope I captured them in the painting. Cherry Blossom Time Oil on Canvas 10 x 8 $400 Doris Jenkins |  This painting was done from the many sycamores surrounding my home. I love the white bark in the sun and used pallet knife and large brushes with fresh color to attain the light on the trees. Sycamore Oil 14 x 11 $450 Laurie Kopec |
 During a walk, I saw this scene and it inspired the beautiful halo on the sun with the shadow from the trees in the late morning. I used pallet knife and large brushes to get thick paint for pure color. The Sun on the Hill Oil 24 x 30 $750 Laurie Kopec |  This was inspired by my love of cherry trees in the spring.

 This image of being alone in the woods at night, but not being afraid is a childhood memory that revisits me often. It shows up in my work in many ways and many mediums. No matter how dark, the light is always there for us to follow. Way Opens II Oil 40 x 30 $3,000 Margo Lehman |  Working this familiar image in a new medium was both challenging and exhilarating, juxtaposing the cool blue light of night in the woods with the warmth and comfort of wool. While color blending in wool can be difficult, the sculptural capacity extends the creative capacity of the medium. Finding the Way Felted Wool 36 x 28 $3,600 Margo Lehman |  Painting something so ancient and enormous in miniature requires not just the skill to wield tiny paint brushes, but also a sense of intimacy with your subject. I wandered many local forested areas in search of Beech trees with their intricate root structure and smooth bark. They're painted here without the ubiquitous graffiti one usually finds carved in their bark. Moonlight in the Beech Forest Oil 4 x 3 $250 Margo Lehman |
 A warm day, a shady spot. This beautiful tree-lined gravel drive was the perfect place to paint. I like looking out into bright sunshine from deep shade, and seeing the shadow patterns made by the trees. Shady Lane at Blandly Oil 9 x 12 $350 Amy Mann |  On a brisk, breezy day in early November 2022 on the coast of Maine, sheltered beside a house, I painted these dancing pine trees beside the sea. I can't think of a more pleasant place to paint! Pines by the Sea Oil 14 x18 $725 Amy Mann |  Painted at a beautiful river in Southern VA in the Spring. Dockside Reflections Oil 8 x 10 $265 Marilyn Miyamoto |

 Pink and white peonies and other flowers fill a flower bed along a wooden fence. Beyond the fence, a tree line meadow is filled with sunlight. This was painted in my studio in 2023 from references and sketched done on location. Peonies by the Meadow Oil 8 x 10 $250 Abigail Muncy |  This painting depicts the bluebells that carpet the woods around Bull Run Battlefield. This scene was near the Old Stone Bridge, Bull Run, Manassas in spring 2023. Bluebells Near the Old Stone Bridge Oil 9 x 12 $300 Abigail Muncy |  I stumbled upon this grouping of trees at a park in Arlington, VA where my children play. I was inspired by both their interconnectedness and the tension between the trunks. I imagined them as an old couple, rooted together yet constantly bickering. Grow Old with Me Oil 36 x 36 $2,000 Renee Newell |
 Maine Survivor Oil 16 x 12 $350 Renee Newell |  This was the view one cool rainy spring. My art group was painting on location. I found this view, took photos and started working on the painting. Back in the studio I added the blooming spring trees to add a focal point. The painting needed some color. The Edge of Spring Acrylic on Canvas 16 x 20 $550 Elise Nicely |  This collage includes materials from wasp nest and an insect wing as well as various exotic papers and aluminum leaf. Moonlit Tree Collage 10 × 8 $300 Karen Oliver |
 This old shed was surrounded by overgrown plants and trees reminding me of the persistence of nature. Look for the moth wings in the grass and on the tree. Old Shed in the Woods Collage 14 × 11 $350 Karen Oliver |  This wonderful composition of trees on a cloudy day in winter was without color. A blank canvas waiting for color. I love the colors of Klimt which provided the inspiration for this artistic rendering. Klimt's Muse Digital Photography 8 x 10 $165 Terri Parent |  Trees are one of my favorite subjects to photograph. This image was captured on a foggy morning as the sun struggled to break through the fog. The artistic enhancements are my imaginings of the trees in the morning golden hour. Golden Hour Digital Photography 10 x 8 $165 Terri Parent |
 The Chinese began the art form of Bonsai over 2,000 years ago, creating miniature landscapes. Around 700 years ago, the Japanese copied the art form, developing their own style, growing only individual trees. It is traditionally known for bringing good luck and success and is often given as a gift. Bonsai Acrylic on Canvas 12 x 24 $300 Regina Petrecca |  Based on a coconut tree that was on our property in Hawaii, I painted this on Yupo paper. Starting with an acrylic pour, I lifted out my whites with alcohol; saved the acrylic mid-tones, then used watercolor to achieve the dark tones. Crazy for Coconuts Acrylic with Watercolor 11 x 11 $300 Deidre Pistochini |  This painting was inspired by a beautiful mango tree that grew on our property in Hawaii. It always provided a bountiful amount of fruit and the afternoon light would always hit the fruit just right. This painting was done on Yupo paper utilizing an initial acrylic pour. I lifted the whites out with alcohol; saved the acrylic mid-tones and used watercolor to achieve the dark tones. Mango Bounty Acrylic pour with Watercolor 18 x 16 $850 Deidre Pistochini |
 Golden Hour Pastel 12 x 12 $500 Anne Reid |  Cliff Mills Rd. Pastel 11x14 $500 Anne Reid |  One of my plein air paintings at Black Oak Farm in Purcellville. Beautiful variety of trees and spectacular view in the fall. Fall Medley Acrylic 10 x 13 $395 Amy Scala |
 Coming upon this tree deep in the Black Forest I had the impression that the delicate canopy with clear and golden hues resembled a bride’s veil. The majestic tree appeared as the mist revealed its form and the strength of its roots. Acrylic and gold leaf on canvas.

This walnut tree stands majestically on the farm and while it offers heavenly shade in the summer, it is a sight to see in the wintertime too. Winter Walnut Photography 16 x 20 $250 Cheri Shervin | ![Snyder, Beatrice-Warm Light, Cool Day[41]](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/165f22_4ba26e5eb6d54e83919702817c608c72~mv2.jpeg/v1/fill/w_250,h_314,al_c,q_90,enc_auto/165f22_4ba26e5eb6d54e83919702817c608c72~mv2.jpeg) The warm morning light on the cool snow was exciting to witness.

Dappled Sunlight Pastel 19 x 26 $850 Libby Stevens |
 This Hollywood Juniper at Blandy Experimental Farm was just wild and begged to be painted. It's branches had so much energy. I had to find a great title that went with the designated name of Hollywood juniper. No Paparazzi, Please! (Hollywood Juniper) Oil 6 x 8 $295 Margaret Stewart |  This tree from Blandy Experimental Farm stands tall at the end of the walk at the quarters. Pinus Strobus is so named because it's needles fan out like little strobe lights, hence the title Disco Hair. It was a great tree, all limbs reaching out to all sides in interesting combinations. Disco Hair (Pinus Strobus) Oil 10 x 8 $340 Margaret Stewart |  These trees stand at the edge of the field at Jones Point Park, and just kind of do their thing. Moonrise Oil 8 x 8 $310 Margaret Stewart |
 Owl on a Branch in a Tree Oil 8 x 4 3/4 $375 Dana Lee Thompson |  I have always loved the contrast of the yellows and reds of fall leaves against the azure blue sky. When I started to paint this, I couldn't help myself. I had to make those colors sparkle somehow! Once I did it, they looked like stars to me. I realized I loved looking up at the leaves in the sky just as much as looking up at the stars at night. And thus was born the idea: Day Stars. Day Stars Oil 11 x 14 $299 Kristyne Torruella |  A whimsical piece about living in harmony with Creation. I love nature, especially the details and points of view that are often overlooked. The Gnome is inspired by the work of Heinrich Schlitt, Oskar Herrfurth, and Heinz Geilfus, German artists who captured the magic of the Black Forest.

This Majestic oak is documented to be the oldest tree there. It seemed to me the most important view to paint as it commanded attention. Your Majesty Oil 24 x 30 $600 Elizabeth Wassel |
 Helping Friends is an ode to the fires in California and the crews that protected the trees. Watching the devastation, knowing the utter destruction, I tried to put my hope onto canvas. Human, tree, fire, and earth are connected. And the cycle repeats. I was amazed that the flimsy space blanket (?) in my car glovebox was being wrapped around massive trees to protect them from the heat! How helpless we are. Helping Friends Oil with Mylar 36 x 24 $500 Elizabeth Wassel |  Under the Trees Oil 10 x 20 $750 Peggy Weed |  The Broken Fence Oil 10 x 20 $685 Peggy Weed |
Sheep Under the Hemlock Tree Oil 14 x 11 $600 Peggy Weed |  Walking around each fall, I always find myself in awe of nature’s palette.

 In many cultures, trees symbolize life and strength. Rainbows frequently represent faith, hope, chakras, pride and even luck. This tree reminds me how tranquil life can be, in all its forms and colors, but only when rooted firmly on a solid foundation to give it support.
