Piece description from the artist
Gestural painting created to complement modern and contemporary interior.
This piece was inspired by the colors of the sunsets over the Estrella Mountains in Arizona. Nature has always been my main point of reference. I paint from memory, I'm more interested in creating the atmosphere and the emotion I felt when I was in a specific place.
16×20 in, acrylic on stretched canvas, 2017; unframed; varnished and signed on the front; ships in a box.
