Original artwork description:

Dusk I is part of a triptych I captured from some of my photos of a Colorado sky, where I lived during the growth phase of my family. It’s a challenge for me to simultaneously paint related pieces, but I did. I even set three easels out at one time. I had to figure out what parts of the adjacent canvases needed to be expressed with the some color I was already using, because the lions share of what I make is somewhat unplanned and spontaneous.

I usually want to move on to something new and different after I paint a piece. I have be different, seek what’s different. That’s me. I chase novelty.

I often research titles in other languages for my work as well. I just can’t settle for sameness. I like titles to sound like I imagine my painting might it weren’t solely visual. Quixotic. My first grade teacher called me her little enigma. Important for retaining a unique perspective, and very telling about how we actually do remain the same in our core as part of being human.

Dusk I arrives prewired and ready to hang. The deep 1-1/2" museum mount edges of this canvas are painted as 3D extensions of the main image.
