Luce Hill Swim

This piece started with the colorful striped paper and warmer colors, but in subsequent layers, the blues and greens started asserting themselves. A random curve laid down with the palette knife ended up looking surprisingly like one of my kids’ favorite swimming holes, a specific bend in the river near my dad’s house.

Acrylic and collaged paper on 18in x 24in cradled birch panel with 7/8” painted edges. Varnished and ready to hang.
