Uncertain Ground

This painting shifted in concept and composition from my original idea. I continued my exploration of the subject, letting it lead me where it needed to go, letting go of my direction. The ambiguities in the composition speak of  uncertainties, in life and the physical geography of where we live. 

Uncertain Ground (acrylic on canvas 24" x 20")

Storms, tides, earthquakes, and other natural disasters erode convictions. Contemplating life and the mercurial changes around us, this painting speaks to me of the uncertainties of life.

    Lovely! I like the early summer colors and the wee blue triangle at the bottom.
    by chance, might you be going to ABS in Montreal?

      Thanks Margaret,
      I'm really pleased you like it. I won't be going to the ABS in Mtl. I will be in Mtl. for another event at the end of Sept. Why don't you do a Maritime extension:)
