Forest Poem

Acrylic on canvas with oil pastel figurative drawings overlayed.  Mixed media large landscape format contemporary expressive figurative painting with line in a neutral earth toned palette.  Depicting connections to ourselves each other and the earth we share.  The composition is painted from intuitive pen and ink drawings exploring themes of selfhood and belonginghood for a collection of paintings titled 'Raw Portrayals' that see shifts in abstraction and figuration.
