In this striking black and gold painting on canvas we have a unique texture created by mixing adhesive mortar with another proprietary construction material. Both are water-based. The complex surface was all done with palette knives of various sizes. Then a metallic sheen acrylic paint was carefully dry-brushed onto select raised areas to suggest fires.
This is one of my "Environmental Series" works. If we neglect to seriously address climate change issues, more and more of the earth's forests will burn and views from above at night could very well resemble the painting.
"Climate Change Denied" has been juried into the very competitive 2020 Cumberland Valley Artists Exhibition in Hagerstown, MD, which opens February 2 and runs through April 5.
