I have been working on this piece - on and off - all spring-fall. I wanted it to feel simple and elegant but with a nice flow. Originally, I pictured it as a scroll style textile piece that would hang without a frame. The more I worked on it and observed it - the more I decided it needed a frame.
After mounting the canvas, using an archival gel/adhesive to a board, I worked with local woodworker - Stanley Townsdin. Stanley is my brother and a talented woodworker. I knew he could create the perfect compliment to this piece. We decided on a 2" thick walnut frame with clean straight lines. I am happy with the finished piece!
I used a combination of burnt umber, unbleached titanium, warm grey, red iron oxide, paynes grey and a touch of yellow ochre for this piece. I wanted this painting to feel like nature - alive.
