Introducing "WPR 23," an evocative abstract piece that captures the essence of a stylized landscape. Perfectly sized at 11x15 inches, this artwork invites viewers into a vibrant world crafted from a compelling mix of acrylic, graphite, and diverse paper mediums, including handmade recycled paper and toned cyanotype.

The artwork harmoniously blends layers of color and texture to depict a serene natural scene. Dominated by a striking section of dark green foliage, it is dynamically interwoven with a bright yellow band that radiates warmth and energy. The textured brown elements resemble a cliff or rock face, offering a stark yet beautiful contrast to the lush greenery. At the base, softer green hues evoke the tranquil essence of land or water, grounding the composition in a soothing palette.

Curved, flowing black lines elegantly contour the piece, imbuing it with a sense of movement and depth. This artistic exploration of natural elements is rendered in a minimalist, expressive style, which makes it both calming and captivating.

"WPR 23" draws inspiration from the artist's explorations and documentation of the Ward Pound Ridge Reservation. The creation process itself was unique, featuring the innovative application of toned cyanotypes and the incorporation of meticulously crafted handmade paper, adding a distinctive touch to the artwork. This piece is a testament to the artist's ability to synthesize natural beauty and abstract expression, offering a fresh, insightful perspective on the landscape genre.
