Kristy Chettle (American, born 1968) "Sunrise Beyond the River" 2024 Oil Paint, Wood The artist signed the back of the painting. This striking 22" x 38" abstract oil painting by Kristy Chettle captures the raw energy of nature through vibrant, expressive color. Painted directly onto reclaimed wood, the artwork showcases her unique approach to using natural materials, allowing the texture of the wood grain to become an integral part of the piece. The rich, fiery hues of orange, red, and yellow swirl across the surface, evoking a sense of dynamic movement and shifting light. The cooler tones of blues and blacks provide contrast, creating depth and intrigue.

This piece beautifully represents her ability to blend color, form, and texture into an emotional and evocative abstract composition.
