Juniper, a horizontal oil on canvas, is a striking abstract landscape inspired by the rich natural environment of a New England summer. The deep, verdant greens create a vibrant intensity of color, evoking the lush green fields, expansive sky, and serene sea. Trees have long been a recurring subject in Michael’s paintings, whether drawn from the olive groves of Italy, the towering pines of the French countryside, or, as in this case, the familiar beauty of his own backyard.
