"For You," an original painting by the Madeline Island artist Steve McHugh. This abstract landscape masterpiece is created using oil and cold wax on a wood panel, and beautifully framed in a gallery floating frame. The warm orange and yellow background serves as a striking contrast to the vertical trees in blue textured hues. This stunning artwork is sure to captivate your attention and add a touch of elegance to any space. Whether you're an art enthusiast or simply looking for a unique piece to add to your collection, "For You" promises to be a remarkable addition to your home or office decor. This artwork is a painting depicting an abstract forest scene. The background is a warm, glowing gradient of yellows and oranges, representing an illuminated or autumnal sky or atmosphere. The trees are rendered in bold, dark blue and black hues with angular, almost jagged shapes. The trees and their shadows create a sense of depth and movement, with diagonal lines cutting across the composition. The overall effect is both dynamic and serene, capturing the essence of nature through expressive color and form. Painting is 10.75" x 30" and is ready to hang in your envirorment.

I am a mixed media non-representational abstract painter. I’m inspired by looking at broken asphalt roads, pushed ice sheets in the bay, lichens on old trees, mangled flattened soda cans and the unintended compositions created.

I start all my paintings with intuitive marks and gestures, then the layering of colors, creating textures; scraping away adding marks, subtracting and reconstructing, then repeating. In this process I will chose clashing colors, change the composition and will break all the rules. First comes the chaos, then some order and clarity.

I want the viewer to constantly discover new elements and details in my paintings, and bring their own interpretations and reactions to my thousands and thousands of actions.

You’ll find charcoal, graphite, gunpowder, sand, crayons, oil stick, oil and cold wax, even photography within and on paper and canvas, primed and un-primed, sandwiched on to wood panels.

I live and work on a very small Island in Lake Superior, Madeline. I spent my first three decades creating photographic advertising images. I plan to spend my last decades creating soul driven images. The act of painting, creating, is as essential to me as air and water.
