Alpine Asters

16.5 x 28.25 inches (41.9 x 71.7 cm)
Acrylic on hardboard
This was painted for a call for artwork, "Purple Colorado". Artists were to explore Colorado on a micro level - depicting flora and fauna native to the Rocky Mountains as the primary subject matter. The stipulations were; the artwork must not depict people (unless in a subtle manner), must not depict scenery or landscape as the main subject manner and must incorporate the color purple as a key element. I think most viewers of this would argue scenery and/or landscape compete for the main subject. After I though I had my two pieces to enter, I reread the requirements and saw the art needed to be in a horizontal format. Oops. Other submissions included Lupine Lane and Allium Alley. This was written before the piece was juried so I'll have to make an update.

this frame (on the right) which originally held a mirror.
