Abstract Figurative:

Starting with the abstract figurative studies I had posted (a few posts ago), here is the end result of taking the first study and developing it over the course of many weeks on a 3 foot by 3 foot canvas.

I've decided to call this series DESIDEREUM - a latin word meaning 'An artdent longing, as for something lost'.

Desidereum I, Acrylic on Canvas, 36" x 36"

I owe a debt of gratitude to Seattle abstract artist Julia Ricketts whose feedback helped evolve this piece tremendously.

This piece is available for sale.
