Failed Rock   Oil on Canvas   28″ x 28″   2008

I liked the contrast of defined and undefined in this painting,
some aspect of solidity contrasting with air and light.
An “organic” rock with as much fluid as solid.

It may have failed as a rock, but it succeeded quite admirably as a painting! I too like the simultaneous sense of solidity and transparency in this piece. (How’d you do that??)

Thanks Don - Just kept the wet paint open on this one open as long as I could, and at one point I backed away and took a look - at which point I scratched my head, put the brushes down and called it a day.
