Purple Haze is a captivating acrylic woodland painting by New Hampshire artist Stephanie C. McQuade. The composition centers on a strong, weathered tree standing at the edge of a misty forest where layers of lavender and violet tones dissolve softly into the distance.
The painting creates a sense of quiet atmosphere and depth through its use of color and light. Pale tree forms appear through the haze like distant memories, while the foreground is alive with rich textures of grasses and warm golden highlights. The strong trunk of the tree provides a grounding presence, balancing the softness of the surrounding forest.
Stephanie’s brushwork combines expressive texture with gentle tonal transitions, allowing the viewer to feel the stillness of a woodland morning where light filters softly through the trees.
The result is both tranquil and slightly mystical — a landscape that invites contemplation and calm. Purple Haze makes a beautiful statement piece for collectors who appreciate atmospheric landscapes and nature-inspired artwork.
This original acrylic painting is ready to display and brings a sense of quiet woodland beauty into any home or office setting.
