This is another painting in my new series. I have not decided on a series name yet, as I haven’t fully worked out the overall series concept yet. The work is a mixed-media combination of latex, acrylic, solvent-based varnish, and epoxy-resin coating with embedded objects (real earth and leaves). The epoxy resin coats the objects and embeds them into the work, and creates a deep glass-like surface.

This work is about the fragility and erosion of nature. One half of a diptych (with “living grass”), this work shows nature’s death, dark and eroded, with cracked, rough, dry earth and dead leaves. With real earth and leaves embedded into the work, the art will potentially change over time. This is living art, destined to be different years from now, like a reflection of our earth.

This work is for sale. $200.
16″ x 16″. Mixed media on canvas. Back of canvas will be signed and numbered (2nd in the series).

Note: Due to the highly reflective nature of the work, it cannot be photographed head-on.
