Educating Students in the 21st Century
| Provider | |
This oil painting on burlap was completed in March 2004. As in most of my work, it’s about exploring connections to nature. This painting is about providing survival, though shelter and nourishment. These “simple” needs can be dissected in so many ways. Burlap was a great textural ground to paint on. There are actual small holes in this painting that contributes to the meaning. Writing this, reminds me how enjoyable it was to experiment on this unusual ground. It’s one my goals to do a series on burlap.
