This is a giclee print of an original watercolor painting that was painted both on-site and in the studio. The subject is an old juniper tree located in the Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park in Colorado. The park called it "Everyone's Favorite Tree." While on location, the artist painted to a continuous stream of comments by visitors saying what a beautiful, incredible tree this juniper is. Silhouetted against the sky, the movement of the tree really conjures the magic feeling of a genie coming out of a bottle. The twisting of the trunk leading into the canopy of leaves supplies a contrast of old gnarling wood with new fresh evergreen needles. Each print is numbered, titled, and signed by the artist.

"My walks in the aspen forests of the Rocky Mountains in Southwestern Colorado inspire and inform my work. I make on-site drawings depicting the light and weather, revealing the constantly shifting and changing landscape before me. The abstract work that I do in my studio is always based on what I personally experience in my natural environment. The change of seasons is of particular interest. "

The focus of Meredith Nemirov's work has been trees: primarily the aspen tree, but also the trees of Spain, where she spends part of each year. She considers the tree to be a figure in the landscape, and in her work, she plays with the figure/ground relationship. The more recent abstract pieces are a result of an intensive study involving 180 drawings of the trees, each day, through two seasons.

Nemirov fills sketchbooks with ink drawings, which are then scanned and printed as the basis for works on paper or oil on canvas. She uses patterns and linear elements to fill or "activate" all spaces in the painting. These are based on natural topography and graphic representations used by cartographers in the mapping of the West. Everything is drawn by hand using a steel nib pen with ink or gouache.

Nemirov started drawing the figure at age 14 at The Art Students League of New York, and she continues to this day. Nemirov received a BFA from Parson's School of Design and worked as a freelance illustrator for twelve years. She spent many years as a hand-colorist of antique prints for various print dealers. In 2008, she participated in a residency at Anderson Ranch Arts Center, which pushed her work in a contemporary direction.

Captured all the character of an old tree

It's always hard to choose a print on the computer because you never know if the colors will be the same as what is depicted on the monitor. I was not disappointed. The colors on the print are even a little bit stronger and sharper. As noted in other reviews it was well packaged and shipped quickly.

Perfect Gift for My Twin Brother

This print is very evocative of the Southwest, where my brother went to school, and he cultivates juniper bonsais, so this print is a perfect fit. It is very well done.

Great B.
I love this picture.

I had a special place for this. When I received it, the colors were richer than I had even hoped. I am eager for the time when I can safely go to pick out a frame, etc for it.
