Contemporary Impasto Christmas Tree Painting

This is a contemporary acrylic or oil painting on canvas, signed 'Dale' in the bottom right corner. The artwork features a heavily textured, impasto style representing a snow-dusted Christmas tree. The central subject is decorated with a variety of eclectic ornaments including two white doves, a snowman, a golden bell, a dog, a hamburger, red berries, and pinecones. The tree is set against a background depicting an interior patio or balcony with a tiled floor and brick pillars. The colors are vibrant, dominated by the green of the tree, white for the snow, and rich reds for the berries. The application of paint is thick and physical, especially in the white snow areas, giving the piece a three-dimensional quality. The craftsmanship shows a folk-art or naive influence, characterized by playful proportions and varied thematic elements. The condition appears excellent with no visible cracking or paint loss, suggesting it is a relatively modern creation, likely from the late 20th or early 21st century. The piece rests on an artist's easel, indicating it may be a recent studio production.
