Lost Dog

Lost Dog
20 x 28 inches
Acrylic on Canvas

"This painting began as a plein air sketch, supplemented by a photo.

There is so much going on here I don't know how deep I want to go into it. 

Please notice the reversal of the standard that cool recedes/warm advances. That was on purpose but I will leave it to the viewer to decide how she is affected.

That tree on the left is not supposed to be leaning toward the edge of the picture. Probably the dog should not be walking that way either. How does that affect your experience? What does it signify?"
