"Pastoral," 30" x 48"

Acrylic on canvas. 

"This scene was created from my imagination using various photos for reference material. Often I see scenes that appeal to me, and painting allows me to add or change the composition so that it reflects the mood I’m trying to set. The sides of the canvas are painted grey and are 2 inches in depth, which means a frame is not required for displaying."
