Radiant and watchful, Falling Light brings the tree forward as both portrait and habitat. Its luminous canopy holds traces of another presence, suggesting the intimate lives gathered beneath and within a tree.
Each TRUE TREES canvas edition begins as an original pencil drawing made by hand. John DeFaro then uses a digital drawing tablet to meticulously prepare the artwork for reproduction, clearing the space around every leaf, branch, trunk, and root while preserving the character and intention of the original drawing.
The finished canvas reveals remarkable depth of ink and color. Fine details remain crisp while the saturated color gives the tree an almost dimensional presence, allowing it to lift from the canvas.
Presented by Green Religion, the work invites the living world into the room as image, presence, and daily reminder.
The artist’s signature and discreet © greenreligion.com imprint are reproduced on the face of the canvas as part of the artwork.
Each canvas enters production only after it is chosen. Made to order rather than printed in advance, no artwork waits without a home.

Canvas prints arrive ready to hang — no framing required. For an elevated presentation, we confidently recommend considering a float frame in white, natural mid-tone wood, or black. A ½″ to 1½″ frame creates space around the canvas and can dramatically lift the presentation. With TRUE TREES intentionally offered at an accessible price, a well-made frame can be a worthwhile investment in a work you’ll live with for years.
