Cages v. Lines

May 04, 2015 in Process

When I first conceived of this series, the title that hung in my mind was "Sky Cages". The more I painted however, the less I felt contained. "SkyLines" became my compromise, a nod to my more accepting relationship with the landscape before me.  Beauty can be seen, joy found around the interruptions and intrusions. The road we're on, on both emotional and physical planes, can be safely navigated.
