The Road was a commissioned piece, and the largest single image on a series of three canvases. The image shows a journey along a winding road, crossing from mountains on the right to a length of beach on the left. The colors are vivid and surreal, the scope and scale stretched and enhanced to make the scene a panorama of activity. We all take our own journeys along the road of life and how we get there is just part of the enjoyment. An interesting note on this piece is that the lighthouse seen in the distance was not originally part of the completed work but was added on the spot after it was up and displayed. <\/p>\n

This painting is Acrylic on three canvases, total measurement approx. 12′ by 5′<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
