“Middle Earth”

54Av1This painting kind of bridges a gap between nonobjective and abstract. Color, shape, pattern are all jumbled in a chaotic arrangement. The shapes are somewhat suggestive of rocks buried under ground and so could be considered abstract. The artist’s concept of “Middle Earth” – a term borrowed from Tolken – is highly imaginative.

I always paintĀ saguaros and clouds within a vertical format because they reach for the sky, the vertical format says, “UP!”
