If you live in Houston, you may be familiar with the sculptural works of David Adickes. He creates large scale sculptures in cement of everything from Abraham Lincoln to Paul McCartney, from his Sculpturworx studio located in an industrial district near downtown.

In the 1950's, Adickes studied art in France, and in the years after did many paintings including these treescapes.

I recently completed a large scale impression of Adickes tree paintings for one of my clients. The dual canvas painting is done in acrylics across two 3 ft. by 4 ft. canvases.
