Landscape Architect

dedicated to my nephew, Alex Thommes, a brilliant artist, as his father. Shown here with the original (2016) and detail (bottom L). The black (hard edged) and the white and green, yellow and orange (soft edged) represent combinations of textures, colors and forms found in nature and important to all art. Several orientations are shown here, as the piece totally changes context as it is displayed vertically, horizontally and "upside down." As with most of my other paintings, there is evidence of previous versions visible to show where i have been and come from and to honor the previous work and inspiration.
