thru the arches are different scenes (which didn't show up too well in the photo) easter island, Cydonia (mars), and ancient egypt....your point ov view is from just emerging from another doorway (shadow)
30X40 acrylic on canvas 2004
This painting is really cool, I like the luminescence of the doorways...

This one reminds me a little of Georgia O'Keefe's adobe churches with the melting, soft edges of the hardscape. The light in the portals is very effective, but the midground is too static. The eye enters the picture well with the diagonal portal shadow leading it in and the sky holds its own with its glowing turmoil, but the mid-ground sto-ps the eye dead in the center with its "out of context" feel. Very interesting theme.
One of the finest acrylics I've ever seen and I've been teaching acrylics for about 15 years! Great work...hope to see more. Love the subject and how it is presented and executed!
