36×36 Acrylic

In this piece the pine trees might be simplified, rendered with geometric abstraction, rather than botanically accurate detail. There is a layer of cool blue colors representing mountains in the back. The shore line has magnificent energy in the use of color.

I used a Schiele boat and water painting for an influence that had unsettling perspectives and elongated, angular forms to convey inner states rather than objective reality. The "swirly water shapes" are not naturalistic ripples but rather abstracted, almost calligraphic renditions of water.
