Oak Before Sunset
30 x 24, acrylic on canvas
This Dean Gioia tree painting showcases the majestic form of an oak before sunset, its textured trunk and branches illuminated with golden light. The composition emphasizes the tree’s powerful structure against a background of deep amber and umber hues. Gioia’s detailed brushwork captures the rough bark texture and delicate Spanish moss, while glowing highlights trace the contours of the oak’s distinctive branching pattern. Slender grasses at the base, caught in the same warm evening light, complete this intimate portrait of a Southern icon at day’s end.
