“Tropical Skies II” is a new painting by Lucinda Leveille from her series “Above The Canopy,” inspired by the transformative view from her studio window after the removal of a dense cluster of trees. What remains is a single spindly gum tree, a symbol of resilience. As Lucinda looks out above the tree canopy, she often reflects on the few brave trees that seem to reach for the sky, standing taller than the rest. This observation has become the foundation for a growing body of work.

The palette in “Tropical Skies I” is deeply influenced by the vivid and striking hues of the Australian landscape. Drawing inspiration from the vibrant pinks of the salt lakes and the rich greens of the ocean, Lucinda transports viewers into an imagined world that exists above the treetops, a magical and serene space. Each piece in the series begins to build this ethereal world, where the view from above the canopy reveals an otherworldly beauty.

For those who admire “Tropical Skies I” but seek a companion piece Tropical Skies II is perfect. Lucinda welcomes the opportunity to work on commissions. She enjoys collaborating with clients to create bespoke artworks that are tailored specifically to their homes, making each piece uniquely theirs.

The painting continues the vibrant color around the edges, and it is presented in a Chilean pine floating frame. It comes ready to hang, with attached hardware, and is signed ‘Lucinda’ on the front. Additionally, a Certificate of Authenticity from Lucinda Leveille Art accompanies the artwork.
