Seed Pod Dance •SOLD





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.

Seed Pod Dance is an acrylic painting on canvas - mounted to board and professionally framed in a solid walnut frame. Framed size is 58"x19". This piece is available at Peculiar Painter in Walker, MN.  | 218-547-3729
