“6” Painting

“6” is one of a series of western landscape works that emphasize prairie horizons. This work is on paper. I begin a painting by adding texture and colored wax (encaustic). The horizon is established and items are encrusted into the surface with layers of colored wax and paint added to create a rich textured surface. The surface is further manipulate by removing through scraping. This process of painting and removing is repeated until a work is completed. Horizon is every present on the western prairie. It is the landscape. It is beauty. It is orientation. In this painting, images of home are incised into the paint/wax surface. Objects incrusted into the surface represent the random man-made items that invaded the landscape. In time decay and forces of nature diminish their presence. Some are visible, some just below the surface. The paintings in this series explore earths crust, man’s influence and time. Work is created on watercolor paper. The edges are an important part of this work, one may want to consider float the painting within a frame.
