Thickets

abstract acrylic painting, 8x8 inches, Thickets, life needs art“Thickets”, 8×8 inches, acrylic paint and ink on canvas.

I’ve struggled with naming this painting for a while, because it evokes so many thoughts for me. I look at it one day and it reminds me of an underwater scene, maybe a reef. Or sometimes it looks like a campfire, just as the kindling begins to catch. Lichens? Yes, maybe that too.

But I’ve settled on “Thickets”. It has that feel of dense underbrush that snag your pant legs and rub your elbows as you make your way through. You can see only little glimpses of what’s up ahead.

So there you have it.
