Community Garden Paths – 18×24

Title: “Community Garden Paths”

Medium: acrylic on wood

Size: 18 x 24 inches

In this series of landscapes the feel of wide open spaces meets a soft geometry – a meditative play of shapes and colors. 

What started this body of work was a question I asked on Facebook: What outdoor spaces bring you peace and happiness? Friends sent me photos of their special landscapes, and I used those images as a jumping off point to create small paintings, my Tiny Landscapes.

Using those paintings, I then created the larger works in Searching on the wind. Some of them stayed true to the small paintings, and some veered in other directions. After working on a painting for a while, it starts to take on a life of its own, and if you know how to listen, paintings will “ask” for one thing or another. Finished paintings are a conversation between the artist and the painting – or maybe with the muse or the universe…

I hope this painting will evoke the poetry of nature and bring a sense of wonder and a breath of fresh air into your life.

This is an original acrylic painting on a cradled wood panel, signed on the front and hand labeled on the back.

The sides (or “cradle”) are 1.5 inch thick wood painted white, so there’s no need to frame. The painting comes wired and ready to hang.

This artwork is currently on view at The Art Gallery at Congdon Yards in High Point, NC. The work can be purchased at the gallery or by calling 336-887-2137.
