Christmas Tree with Eclectic Ornaments by Dale Haessly

This is an original impasto oil or acrylic painting on canvas, displayed on a wooden studio easel. The artwork depicts a heavily textured Christmas tree adorned with a wide variety of eclectic ornaments, including white doves, a snowman, a hamburger, a dog, and various traditional baubles and bells. The painting is characterized by its high-relief texture, particularly in the snowy branches and white ornaments, suggesting a palette knife technique or heavy brushwork. The color palette is vibrant, featuring bright reds, crisp whites, and cool blues against a background that transitions from a light interior wall to an outdoor view of a stone wall. The signature 'Dale' is clearly visible in the bottom right corner, corresponding to the artist Dale Haessly. The composition uses a strong light source coming from the bottom center, emanating from a stylized figure at the base of the tree. Physically, the canvas appears to be in excellent contemporary condition with no visible cracking, chips to the impasto, or surface grime. The edges of the canvas are unframed, exposing the painted wrap. The style is modern folk-impressionism, likely created within the last 10-20 years. The level of detail in the individual ornaments shows a high degree of intentionality and whimsical craftsmanship.
