This collection was inspired by the shadows cast by objects along the roadway onto surfaces in front of me as I drove the thousands of miles this past year. One image stayed in my mind of large round hay rolls lined up at the fencerow and 10:00 sunlight.
There are two sets: one depicting the grassy field and then textured roadway; the other with a light snow on the grasses and roadway showing a slushy tire track. The fifth image is the view out our kitchen window. Winter now with oak trees retaining their light brown leaves and the other hardwoods barren against a cold white sky. There are alpaca yarns incorporated that were spun here at the Capon Bridge Fiber Works adding a soft texture.
All the works are 5″ x 13″ mounted on 8″ x 16″ covered stretcher bars They are priced at $135 each and available directly from the Tamarack-Gallery.
