Zen, Day and Night

May 15, 2008

                  Pebbles / Zen Garden #8 at night, 24 x 24 x 1 inches Acrylics on woven canvas strips over a layer of wrapped canvas, about 1 inch beyond the wall surface.

Pebbles / Zen Garden #8 - Day interest and night drama! 24 x 24 x 1 inches Acrylics on woven canvas strips over a layer of wrapped canvas, hangs about 1″ from the wall surface. The wrapped sides are painted; frame unnecessary. The tiny openings between woven strips are brightly colored orange and reds, and to ensure they’d be noticeable a string of small clear lights are woven into more canvas strips behind the frame. It’s quite attractive in the dark and also hung diagonally, optionally hung as a square. There are numerous ways to hang and view this painting.

I still like the idea of enhancing and receding larger geometric patterns, as in the central square as seen in the May 13th post, but maybe this will be reserved for Zen Garden #9. View the piece from start to finish April 27th, May 12th and May 13th.
