Emperor's Juniper after 40years

Emperor's Juniper after 40yrs                            Framed as shown : image is 9”x12”I collected this Chinese Juniper at the intersection of I-696, two blocks East of Woodward Avenue in Royal Oak, MI. The I-696 was on its way through town with a giant hole that was miles long. It was a cold winter day, the year: 1980. I had a '78 Ford LTD and I stopped to ask the fellow who was running the back hoe if I could collect these threes prior to destruction.  This painting was done today plein aire here in N. CA where I now live. It is still wet as it is oil on canvas board and will remain wet for at least a few more weeks. I'll seal it with a Damar varnish in a few months and it will be ready for the frame as shown above.  It will arrive in the frame shown. Yet  If you wish to can also buy different frame from me as I can get the best 'gold tone' plein aire frames and professionally mount it with a certificate of authenticity. I'll also include a vitae along with a simple pamphlet of other works.  My works were recently collected for an exhibition with the US Dept of State Art to Embassies Div.  Please check me out there under: vance hanna.  The work will not be ready to ship until late July, early August. But you're welcome to snag it NOW!My art is collected by the USDept of State Art to Embassies as well As my bonsai (a different tree) will be shown in the US National Exhibition in Rochester NY this September.
