| "Agave Desert" 24" x 36" Oil on wrapped canvas |
I live in a part of the midwest where leaves do not grow in shades of dusty blue. The ground is not ocher and crunchy under foot. I come from green, and plenty of it! My bare feet delight in verdant carpets of cool grass and clover. Yet, I long for different.
I photographed the desert and the agave separately. I intentionally defied convention by sponging the plants onto the canvas as large as would fit, then painted the vastness of the desert from close up to miles away. I didn't particularly care that the eye wouldn't see it the same way my heart did! I also enjoyed the colors.
