"MEDITATION POINT"   30" x 15"   Acrylic

The scene depicted is a favorite spot during warm summer days. My campsite is just up the hill, and this area was a favorite during early morning and at dusk. As the sun moved to the west, the shadows would shift and create a varying drama. This is a larger painting and I spent considerable time reworking the play of shadow on rock and sand.

"ABSTRACT MUSICIANS"   11 x 14   Acrylic

Continuing on the experimental stage, I decided to try larger block figures and shapes. This is not my usual style and I wanted to make the painting reminiscent of a stained glass window. Over forty years ago I made a needlepoint wall hanging with these same images, but with more detail in the blocking and color shading. Now I'm ready to move back to "realistic" artwork.
