The Land - Original - 20 by 20 Acrylic painting - Large modern abstract landscape

Description

The Land used to mean something, it was earth and rock and crops and dust. It was the lifeblood to the farmer, it defined the family and society, it was a place to lie your head, it was the giver of food and life, it was the place where we die and are reborn again as the cycle continues. The land doesn't mean this too many people any more, and that is a sad thing.

One of my favorite paintings I've ever done, The Land is one of the key paintings in the Talisman series. This series of paintings features central images or objects that connect and resonate with books for which I had a significant emotional reaction. The Grapes of Wrath was the inspiration for this book. In fact, I used pages from the actual book within the painting.

The wheat/grain is abstracted in a pixel-like way throughout the painting, but it's very subtle. The details and subtleties really make this an interesting painting...you'll discover new things every time you look at it!.

20 inches by 20 inches, and 3/4 inches deep. The edges are adorned with pages from the book (specific passages chosen specifically for this purpose). There is no need for framing and there is hanging hardware already attached.

The last photo is an example of the depth of the painting.
