Detail larger than actual size


These wood pattern studies follow two paintings done back in January and once again show the beauty of textures seen in nature. When viewed up close or as an overall design one can see the apparent patterns nature creates. The second painting in the series seen "in-progress" in the small insert will be posted tomorrow.

The detail shown larger than actual size shows the abstraction that can be seen in nature even without knowing what the subject matter might be and reminds me of a Kandinsky painting. Nature has a way of modifying what humans create and eventually taking back those things to their natural state. I find it fascinating to study these forms when doing a painting such as this.
