The Orange Tree series is far and away my most popular.  There is just something happy, fresh, and healthy about this picture of a potted orange tree.  It pairs well with Oranges No. 8 as a diptych but can be purchased alone.  It also works as a triptych along with Canceled Check Sunset.

Another collage in the tree series was commissioned by the Pittsburgh Foundation for its headquarters downtown.  It was made from ledgers from 1945, which was meaningful to them because it was the year that the foundation was established.  I often do commissions like this, where I take meaningful papers and use them to create large collages.
