Ascension

"Ascension" by Leafstedt captures a tender moment of aspiration, with a homestead depicted in bold, expressive strokes rising lovingly toward a bright, hopeful sky. Leafstedt’s use of cold wax and oil over European linen imparts texture and depth, creating an organic feel that complements his unique process. The piece is set in a natural Douglas fir floating frame, which enhances its presence without overshadowing the work itself. This thoughtful touch adds to the sense of elevation and harmony within the composition, celebrating both the scene’s emotional warmth and Leafstedt’s meticulous attention to detail.
