These weren't decorative trees, they were actively producing oil for the owners, and that felt important. Something that beautiful was also doing real work. That detail is what pushed me to bring the olives into the foreground rather than just painting the tree as a backdrop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is also part of a shift happening in my practice right now. For a long time I leaned heavily on reference photos, letting the image in front of me do most of the thinking. With this painting I made a deliberate choice to step away from that and build the composition from an idea instead. The olive branch up close, the tree behind it, the fruit and the source together in one frame. Concept first, then canvas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat's where my work is headed and this painting is one of the first places you can see it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e","brand":"RachelChinQArt","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45112777081008,"sku":null,"price":85.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0613\/5788\/3568\/files\/IMG_0091.jpg?v=1779745771","url":"https:\/\/www.rachelchinqart.com\/products\/olives-are-for-oil-4x6-original-painting","provider":"RachelChinQArt","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
