I went through a period of fascination with medieval illuminated manuscripts. Their cartoon-like imagery and symbolism was laden with meaning at the time, but the childlike simplicity seems innocent and child-like to me. This painting was a gift for a child's birthday.

The Big Field

Fri, 13 Jun 2008 17:09:20 CDT

This painting is really large, and was made during a time when I favored a cut-out look and reduced palate of colors. It was inspired by the landscapes in the area where I spent my childhood. We had a very large field on the property with a backdrop of mountains.
