This recent painting is one of my favorites for several reasons. It is the first time I used a 12 x 36 canvas and I love the vertical form. It is the perfect size for this painting of a water-eroded crevice in a huge (maybe 30' high) boulder in Robber's Cave State Park. Earthforms and water are what speak to me and this painting relates to both. It is also a different style of painting than I have done before and I like the play of the intense realism of the rock at the bottom against the more abstract face of the boulder with shadows from a nearby tree flowing across it. The contrast between the subtle and brighter colors also pleases me.
