Releasing Movement

2007

Acrylic on canvas

A surrealist painting of a desert landscape on the bottom with a layer of brown ground and tan sky with dark shadows of rocks on the horizon. The sky becomes square layers overlapping each other as they rise into a watery surface with a dark shoreline on the horizon. The square platforms continue to overlap and float towards the cloudy blue sky above, the tan layers becoming pink squares. Dotting the layered squares are spheres of different colors, with blues and greens on bottom, becoming red and purple in the middle layers, and orange and yellow balls on top layers.
