Cascades and Canyons

14" x 11" x 1.5"

Acrylic on Canvas

The concept behind this composition was to create cascading curves flowing in front of a dominant peak, thereby generating contrasting movement against a stoic, majestic backdrop. To achieve these curves, I utilized the oval glass top from my wife's wine rack (don't tell her) as a template, a decision. The lines were executed with acrylic paint pens, as were the other lines in this piece, where I used various straight edges and circle templates as guides. The earthy title was derived from the color palette, curvy lines, and spatial relationships. Although muted, the primary color palette brought a vibrant aesthetic into the work, enhancing the natural motif.
