| June, 1996: acrylic on paper; 24" x 30" |
I like taking long hikes in the redwood covered mountains. But sometimes, it does get a bit dark before I make it back. Imagine yourself walking out in the woods, or in the country around evening. As you step out of the forest, you find yourself face-to-face with something completely unexpected. Now what? Maybe it's time to turn around and go back!?
I actually used one of my sculptures for this painting. They just looked so, well, so friendly. This painting was done just before I took a class in oil painting, so I hadn't yet learned how to deal with color and value and underpainting. On the other hand, it's kind of obvious where I was headed.
