We recently framed this impressive oil painting by one of the most admired artists of the Monterey Peninsula in the late twentieth century, S.C. Yuan (China & California, 1911-1974). “Carmel Cypress” was painted in the 1960’s. The 26-1/2″ x 26-1/2″ painting (33-1/2″ x 33-1/2″ outside frame dimensions) is available from Rieser Fine Art in Carmel. The 3-1/2″ frame is in carved walnut stained to match the tree, which also informs its sweeping shape, and has a pale gold liner. The texture of the carved frame suggest the tree bark, and also echoes the texture of the paint on the canvas.

I have seen many of SC Yuan’s paintings in Carmel and Carmel Valley. The paint quality is luscious. Nice that you matched it with the textured frame.
