Apocalypto, 30" x 40"

Acrylic on Canvas.

“This painting was inspired by an article I read about more and more folks deciding to live off the grid. Here, I incorporated an old, metal trailer into the abstract landscape. I added numerous textures to the sky and all throughout the work, as I love the feeling of old and weathered things and places and this provides the mood I strived to create here. The sides of the canvas are painted a deep, rich grey and I've added a gloss finish to the painting to make the colors pop. My personal signature stamp is on the back.”
