Tree Rooted, Acrylic on canvas, 15" x 15"
This painting is heavy on texture. The image is part of the earth object series. I like to think of it as a hand clawing the earth. A large hand on a macroscopic landscape. Embedded in the canvas are etchings of acorns.
Since August 8, 2008, I have been inspired by the painting a day phenomenon that is happening in the blogsphere. This truly is an art movement. I started my first daily painting with a tomato from my summer garden. I will also be using my “Earth Objects” as inspiration. This should be an interesting ride.
My plan is to post a painting a day at least five days a week. Please feel free to "feed your burn" and tell other art lovers about this blog site.
