Sentinel of Elegance – Italian Cypress Tree

$199.00

Soaring like a verdant flame beneath a golden, dreamlike sky, this imaginative portrait of the Italian Cypress Tree (Cupressus sempervirens) evokes both elegance and myth. Reaching heights of up to 50 feet, these iconic trees are commonly planted in rows to frame estate driveways or grand entryways, swaying like serpents in the breeze—symbols of stature, serenity, and timeless design.

In this surreal landscape, the artist’s signature flowing linework animates the tree with graceful movement, surrounded by radiant suns, a watchful crescent moon, and floating orbs that suggest a world beyond the visible. Painted in rich layers of greens, sage, mint and neon colors against a brilliant yellow backdrop sky, the tree stands as a living monument to order, life, and ascension.

A favorite among spring birds, Italian Cypress trees of Southern California offer both shelter and nourishment, as many species nest within their high canopies and feed on the small, resin-rich cypress nuts during mating season. The Artist Gregory Michael Maness, so loved these trees he cultivated them at several of his estates across California, honoring their beauty and memory in this striking, visionary piece.

An Original, One-of-a-Kind Oil Painting by Artist Gregory Michael Maness 

Step into the golden glow of harvest season with Chardonnay Summer, a masterful oil painting that captures the soul of California’s wine country. The focal point—a laborer bent under the weight of an overflowing harvest backpack—embodies the grit, toil, and passion behind every exquisite bottle of Chardonnay. You can almost feel the relentless summer sun radiating off the canvas, the scent of ripening grapes thick in the air. 

Beyond its breathtaking brushwork, this piece is a true sensory experience. The artist has seamlessly integrated vineyard wire and authentic Chardonnay grapevines into the frame, while real black crow feathers adorn the harvester’s hat. A cascade of hand-selected, high-end California Chardonnay corks lines the base of the frame, grounding the piece in authenticity. Grapes spill from the canvas in 3D, blurring the line between art and reality, inviting you to reach out and taste the harvest. 

More than a painting, Chardonnay Summer is an invitation—to step into the vineyards, feel the weight of the harvest, and toast to the beauty of craftsmanship in both art and winemaking.
