(Naming a painting is tough. I had a few names picked out but - but it seems to me like I am airing out my problems...so the name is up to you)

 

 

Dredging

The idea behind this work is layered textures - warm and cold, smooth and rough, natural and man made.

The first is rocks, sticks, grass and metal scraps-things you would find ifyou dredged up a polluted river. The second layer is cold hard rusted ungalvanized steel and finally warm sanded and shellacked plywood that feels and looks like silk.

A thank you to Scott Harriman again for the carpentry and to Frank at Selby Fabricators for cutting the steel for me.

(Photographing the colors and textures was tough..)
