Abundance is an original painting full of history and textures that really make this painting sing.
The name Abundance came to me as I was trying out names for the painting. The painting made me think of farmland, of which I am surrounded by, and which made me think of the goodness of locally grown food and how fortunate we are to live in a society where we have access to such things.
This is an oil and cold wax medium painting. It is wired to hang either vertically or horizontally because I liked it both ways.
Numerous layers were painted over a long time to achieve the depth and texture of this painting.
This piece was painted on a cradled board. The sides have been fully painted and there is no need for a frame. It is wired and ready to hang.
I predominately use oil paint mixed with cold wax, painted in multiple layers to create my paintings. I typically include lots of textures in my paintings. I use several tools in my painting, including squeegees, chop sticks, palette knives, corrugated cardboard and other mark making items. Often, I have no notion or plan of what the painting will be when I begin. I just let the painting decide the composition and when it is complete. Sometimes it takes months or longer.
Artwork is signed and dated on the back.
