Earth Teach Me
I enjoy painting in series. This particular series was inspired by the “Earth Teach Me” poem by John Yellow Lark. Bold shapes, carved lines, layers of color and textures are the common threads I used to recreate a sense of the earth. Painting the essence without being literal was challenging.
Two paintings in the series are 12×12, the rest are 12×6. All are framed in contemporary wood floaters.
