Artist's Comments

This painting started from a photograph of a landscape . 2 day's later and multiple variations there was noting left of the original photograph only rich textures from the layers of paint.
Sometimes it pays to explore specially when you have no idea what you are doing and there are no rules just plain instinct.

Abstract is not usually my thing, but I love this piece! The warm colors wrap themselves around me. I would love to look at this everyday!

When I first saw this I thought it looked like the b&w landscape photograph of trees in your gallery...that's interesting that it started out as a painting from a photograph, I think some parts of the original image might still remain!

That's one thing the abstract expressionists always struggled with, as hard as they tried to work abstractly, the viewer's eye would always pick up some image.

I can see how it may look that way the texture and the light. The image I started to paint was not the bw landscape. I assure you I put so much paint on top of the photograph that there is absolutely no remnant of the original picture. I don't remember which image was done first. I need to check
