Study for Little Spruce — Fine Art

Study for Little Spruce - 1985 shows a tight green shape with darker edges against a flat ground. The form reads as a single tree or a small stand. Neil Welliver painted these Maine wood studies with a hard edge touch. The picture stays with you because the shapes are simple and the surface is even.

This is a fine art print made to go on the wall without a frame. A metal hanger is fitted to the back, so you set it on a nail or screw and step back. The paper holds the flat colour without a shine, which suits the solid field of green.

In a bedroom, the dark tree shape sits low on the wall above a bed. Morning light from the corner makes the green field stand out while the edges stay clear.
