Entry and participant the 2010 WSKG (NY Public TV) Competition and 6 NY City Tour. This scene is peaceful, except for the sounds of the birds, the wind in the trees, and the babbling of the brook. A place of my childhood thoughts. A place to escape where only the distant bark of a dog or an occasional sound of an airplane breaks the wonderful silence found in this idyllic country setting. The texture of the cold wax and oil paint speaks to the sensuality of the technique. The purity of the color is reminiscent of the Impressionist as it softly envelops your view and your mind. Mixed media on canvas. 45.7 cm x 61 cm. 2009. sold private collection
