2015

20″x24″ – Acrylic on Stretched Canvas.

A Minaret in the tradition of Mughal architecture under a blue sky. This is a comfort painting for me, because I love the impression that these arches make on the landscape, and explore the theme all the time. Here, the painting begins with a desolate Minaret surrounded by a deep blue body of water, and illuminated by a warm, sunny sky. This structure stands alone–a motivating idea behind this painting when I created it. I painted this particular minaret during the summer of 2015, when it was especially important for this lonely structure to stand tall and strong. A comfortable theme, for sure, but one that I might have just left behind in time.
