The Way To Shangri-La is a breathtaking painting that captures the  essence of a thought provoking and magical landscape. The focal point of the painting is an ancient, twisted tree standing proudly at the forefront, its gnarled branches reaching out like fingers towards the heavens. Despite its weathered appearance, the tree emanates a sense of wisdom and resilience, having witnessed countless seasons and stories unfold around it.   The painting is executed in a unique Spontaneous Texturism style – an innovative way of painting in thick oils with bright colors, fluid motion, and engaging texture - pioneered by the artist, Kenneth Halvorsen. Canvas is stretched on a heavy-duty 1.5” wide wooden stretcher bar in a gallery wrap style with painting going on all 4 sides, hardware attached, and ready to hang, no frame is needed.
