About
In 2020 we were in Westcave Outdoor Discovery Center, TX. It was “Walk Through The Grotto” from the arid savanna through a limestone crevice down a 100 foot staircase into a sheltered canyon of lush plant life. A place where time seems to stand still. But if you look closely, time runs very slowly, in its own rhythm and pace. Insects, fish, birds do not seem to notice visitors, pay no attention, they are not afraid. Plants grow as convenient for them, and you can see what the World would be like, where man did not touch nature.
Technique
The painting is painted on a black background in decorative style. The white canvas was previously coated with black primer. The oil paint for grass was applied in a few bold layers by palette knife.
The painting has not yet been varnished.
