UNTOUCHED WETLAND 4X16 Oil on Board ($210 Framed)
I cannot count the times I've heard farmers and developers say, "There was nothing there. It was just a swamp!" Until recently we didn't know the value of wetlands and filled them in, build over them or converted them into farmland. Today we know that they are thriving ecosystems and vital water purification filters. We may think ignorance is the architect of destruction - sometimes it's need, but sometimes it's nothing less than greed.
This painting is a small section of a much larger piece. A student wanted a demo of how to use black Gesso as an under-painting. I did this section and liked it enough to whip out the saw, cut it off and frame it! I don't think the rest of the painting made it, so thanks Tanya!
I like it, I like it!
ReplyDeleteThanks Dan. Can't wait for your DVD.
