Los Altos Hills

acrylic on canvas, 20" x 16"

Another abstracted landscape study, starting with a colorful garden in the Los Altos hills and reducing the shapes to their essence, without any details, and yet it still reads as a garden to me.  I would like to straddle the invisible line between the known and the unknown in my painting.  I also like to work in representational style, but this way of thinking helps divorce me of the tendency to label my world and allows for the possibility of surprise, the holy grail of painting for me.
