Convergence


Convergence Oil on Canvas 24" X 36" SOLD

My most recent finished piece was a commission and a surprise for a friend's milestone birthday. She and her husband moved from Albuquerque to Portland, so her husband asked me to paint a landscape to incorporate Mt. Hood with Mirror Lake with a reflection of an iconic representation of New Mexico. This is the result.

It's titled "Convergence" and is 24" X 36". I really enjoyed the challenge of creating this composition, and had to include what seems to have become my signature for landscapes; the inclusion of a vehicle of sorts but an absnece of any people in the hope of encouraging the viewer to invent their own story about the scene. In this case the vehicle is a canoe.
