Dusk




Acrylic, found paper, on found wood panel. 75" X 10". $250, SOLD

This painting was inspired by the many times I have driven across the Bay Bridge, at dusk, and felt my smile grow upon looking at the beautifully dark buildings, with the glowing windows, against a brilliant blue sky. I made this by painting over found paper, in various metallic colors, cutting out the windows with an exacto knife, and placing lightly colored tissue paper behind each window. I then folded each piece in half to create a 3-D effect and placed them on a long piece of wood, of which I sponge painted a deep blue color.

I love how you use material to make your artwork three-dimensional!

I was so curious as to how you were going to use those planks. Perfection!

I like the spirit of your art. The fact that you use recycled material impressed me, art from disposed material! This one actually reminds me of when I lived in the Bay area with my half-brother. Unique!
