Artist Tracy Melton's Tree Ring paintings (featured on Apartment Therapy NY) are made from dead red and white Elm trees and acrylic paint. I love the way it looks both natural and stylishly modern at the same time. He sells his artwork in his Etsy shop, focuslineart but currently no tree ring paintings are available. So I'll have to patiently wait.
Here's more about the artist through his Etsy profile:
Tracy is inspired by objects found in nature,wet river rocks, the insides of trees,wildflowers,spots on salamanders, negative spaces,clear mountain creek water, fungis, patterns on rattlesnakes,mosses, lichens on rocks, smells on a summer night, rain that pours straight down in the evening at night in June, the lushness of the Smoky Mountains in July, looking at creek bottoms while under water, creatures under rocks, Tennessee in the cool green spring,the grand canyon in winter, and wide open spaces.
