Inheritance Series #10 Painting

Inheritance Series is a concept series of paintings that explore our relationship to land, the land we walk and the land we claim ownership of. The series began with small studies and are now being created on a larger scale. I have chosen both oil and acrylic for the smaller studies, as I tend to work with both mediums, depending on how I have my studio set up at the time. Being the only living member of my birth family unit, and dealing with health issues of my own, I began this work as a way to strip things down to their core elements of shape, line and muted colors. Somewhat like the way we gaze off into the horizon on a hazy day. Not entirely focused on the details, but rather the feeling of just being there in the moment, or not.
