I wanted to include elements in the painting that point to the illusion of time and how it is just a human construct. There are several dimensions and the hint of infinity in the painting.

My usual immersion in color was definitely present throughout the process of working on this piece--with stark contrast between white and blue-black, the burst of pastels and oranges in the subway and in the sunset, and the soothing colors of the sky and landscape seen through the open doorway in the bottom part of the painting. 

Reality is what we make it. It was a good feeling to create a reality that seemed soothing and safe and outside the decay that we perceive comes with the passing of time. 

This piece is fitted with a hanging wire. The canvas is a gallery wrap on a sturdy wooden frame. The edges are painted in the colors and mood of the face of the painting. It is acrylic, finished with Gamvar. It is signed.

I am a Texas artist and have painted for most of my 71 years, being from a family of artists. My mother's youngest sister, aunt Patsy, spent a lot of time with me, guiding and encouraging me, and I credit her for my passion for art. She painted under the name of "von." When she died in August of 2018, I began placing "von" somewhere on the face of each painting as an acknowledgment of her role in my artistic endeavors. My inspirations come from my home environment in Texas. Things that I have taken for granted all my life are now frequent subjects for art. Mesquites, cactus, old barns and shacks, windmills, wooden fence posts, wildflowers and the like are favorite subjects. I am a colorist, and I enjoy using color to give new life to otherwise fading beauty. In addition to color, I strive for dimension, movement, depth and unusual perspective.
