Driving By All The Places I Used To Live Artwork

This abstract expressionist piece of art is somewhat sculptural, like bas-relief. It's meant to be both soothing and mysterious, evoking the operation of nature: water, earth and sky. I apply a layer of joint compound to a panel of wood, sculpting it with a palette knife while still wet. In this case, I immediately apply a color or two while the joint compound is wet. My process depends on the materials interacting together in strange ways. Once dry, additional layers of color and line are applied, in response to what's gone before. Cheerful colors and earth tones are my favorites, the work should ground your body and let your spirit soar.
