This painting layers Hawaiian maps, typed text, mica, olivine, metal ephemera and acrylic paint and media on a small stretched canvas.

Thanks so much for visiting my blog!

Great work! For some reason this seems to have a 50's sort of feel, like the title piece for a Disney travelogue that would be shown before the movie. Love it.

the textures are pretty awesome as they always are, and I do like how they are simplifying yet are still more complex in a way... great composition...xx

i love the materials you choose for your paintings... what is your process like? Do you gather a bunch of elements for a specific painting, or do you have a box of materials at your fingertips for inspiration? i LOVE the copper... xoxo
