The Blue Gate

The Blue Gate
16 x 20 inches
Acrylic on Canvas

The entryway to our little stone and brick house on our rural property in Los Angeles County, the one we had to walk away from after LA County officials found a way to landlock the entire neighborhood. (See www.savebriggsroad.blogspot.com.) I built the wood enclosure to keep my daughter from crawling off the edge of the porch. The blue gate was a later addition to keep the goats off the front porch. It is on the verge of falling apart.
That's all interesting commentary I suppose, but this painting is really about pattern and triads of hues.
