New Work Wednesday: Only an Hour Away

7/17/2013

My new painting this week is entitled Only An Hour Away.
This is another painting inspired by my time on the farm at Osage Arts Community.

©2013 Mary C. Nasser, Only An Hour Away, mixed-media/acrylic on canvas, 4 x 5 inches

This painting layers text, acrylic paint and media on a small stretched canvas.

I also used Mary Beth Shaw's Rafters stencil again – with acrylic paints around the text.
I really love incorporating that stencil's pattern in these compositions that resemble aerial views of farmland.

Living on a farm in Belle last summer allowed me time, space and solitude to concentrate on my work. When I resided at Osage Arts Community, I was able to reconnect to nature and I felt at one with the land.

Thanks so much for visiting my blog.
Hope you're having a wonderful week!

I love all your work Mary, but this one got me. I am having a very emotional 2 days gathering things to pack for my son to go to college. "Only an hour away".....I'm translating that to just a 4 hour plane ride away. Yes, your art moved me :)
