After the Storm—Sketch #1

Photography and acrylic on sculpted canvas.

15x13x2.50"

This Summer while camping for 2 months, I set up an outdoor studio with all of my equipment so that I could work on location without returning to my studio to finish my paintings. This is one of the first paintings created totally outdoors on location. The photo is about 100 meters from where I created this painting.

In this painting, I hope to convey the beauty of nature and by using non-rectangular stretchers I allow the scene to expand beyond the frame.
