interwoven shapes in muted earth tones drift across the canvas like memories—gentle

It invites you to pause

but in feeling—a whisper of connection

By the side of the lake, 2020, Acrylic on canvas, 36 x 48 inches denise interwoven shapes in muted earthThis painting began as a completely neutral one. It was simple and had an Asian flare unexpectedly. I wanted to add some color and a little more complexity so added the neutral blue and white. After I did that I found it much more interesting with a feeling of movement in the blue and marks in the "sky" area. It seems like a lake with a dock and a mountain in the distance.
