My new painting this week is entitled Map.
This painting layers a Hawaiian map, ink, mica, text, stamped metal, acrylic media and acrylic on a small stretched canvas.

Below is a detail of the work.

This week, too, I want to thank Jeffrey Strain for featuring me on his National Parks Blog.
The post highlights paintings created during my artist residency at Petrified Forest National Park.
You can read the post in its entirety by clicking here.

Jeffrey also asked me to let other artists know that he is always interested in doing posts like this!
So please don’t hesitate to contact him if you have National Park inspired artwork!

Happy Mid-Week!
