“Tropical Skies I” is a striking new painting from Lucinda Leveille’s series “Above The Canopy.” This series grew out of a recent change in the landscape visible from her studio window, where a dense group of pest trees was removed, leaving behind a single spindly gum tree. This lone tree, striving to rise above its surroundings, became a metaphor for resilience and courage. Lucinda found inspiration in this view, where, above the canopy, a few brave trees stretch toward the sky, and from this vantage point, she began to imagine an entire world existing just above the treetops.

The palette of “Tropical Skies I” is a vibrant reflection of the intense colors found in the Australian landscape. Drawing on the surreal pinks of salt lakes and the deep greens of the ocean, Lucinda uses these tones to bring to life a magical realm that she envisions hovering above the canopy. In this imagined world, viewers are invited to travel beyond the everyday and experience a moment of serene beauty, where nature’s boldest elements blend into an otherworldly sky.

For those who connect with this piece but feel it may not be the perfect fit for their space, Lucinda offers the opportunity to create custom artworks tailored to individual needs. Commissions are welcomed, and she enjoys collaborating with clients to develop unique, personalized pieces that suit their home while maintaining her distinct artistic vision.

“Tropical Skies I” is painted with attention to detail, continuing the color around the sides of the canvas to ensure a polished, gallery-style finish. The painting is framed in a high-quality Chilean pine floating frame and is ready to hang with hardware attached. It is signed on the front with ‘Lucinda,’ and each artwork comes with a Certificate of Authenticity from Lucinda Leveille Art, ensuring the originality and value of the piece.
