An Early Earth Painting From the 1970's
PAINTS MADE FROM NATURAL MATERIALS
This work harkens to a degree to the arts of the
Aborigines of Australia. In fact, it was painted with
a stick brush, much as the Australians do. In the
light angle chosen to photograph this work, the heavy
impasto paint stands out clearly in well defined light
and shadow.
