Matsutake
Within my Kitchen Paintings collection, Matsutake is one of the most popular subjects, with a background of pine needles and twigs littering the forest floor around the mature mushroom. The size of this piece is 26.5” wide by 29” tall. As with the other glass paintings, the wood window frame is approx 1 ⅜” deep. A braided metal wire on the back allows for easy hanging. Please see below on this page for more details
Matsutake, depicting the Japanese Pine Mushroom, prized in cooking for it’s fragrant odor, sometimes described as slightly spicy. Also grows in the Pacific Northwest.
Part of my Kitchen Paintings collection - a series of botanical subjects: fruits, flowers, trees, vegetables, and yes, even fungi, all back-painted on glass using old craftsman era windows as the support. Each work is an original, signed piece by myself, although sometimes I do multiples of a particular subject. The dimensions given are the outside dimensions of the frame, which is the painted wood window frame. The look of the frame is intentionally a lightly distressed state. Some side edges show vestiges of the window hardware indents. Frame has been sanded, repainted, and sealed, but again, with some decorative distressing which varies from piece to piece. Ask to see photos of any fine details of the art and/or frame if you would like, just ask via my ‘contact’ page.
All pieces are provided with a braided steel wire for conventional wall hanging and with small felt pads on the bottom corners to protect the wall surface from scuffing.
All pieces in this series will require special packaging for shipping. A quote for insured shipping will be provided on request. Cost varies with size/weight.
