Home By Another Way

The biennial  Greenbelt Community Center Artists-in-Residence show, "What Remains" opened in the first floor gallery on Aug 26 and runs through Oct 2. If you're local to the the DC Metro area do try to see this show. I think the work is particularly strong. I'm grateful to Greenbelt for the support they provide to me and my fellow artists.

"Home By Another Way," which I've worked on for more of this year than I'm going to admit (too many distractions), is my interpretation of the show's theme, "What Remains." This piece literally grew from the remains of a failed composition. It taught me a lot and I'm happy with the final work.

The three panels of the triptych measure about 6 feet across in total.

Russ, they look great! It is nice to see them finished and hanging together. It also makes me wonder when do we finally give up on a piece? I tend to hang on to things, thinking I'll "remake" them. Most of the time I don't, but sometimes, they turn into something wonderful, like this series.

Phenomenal Russ! I'm pretty sure I know where these three lovely pieces began, and I'm so happy to see how you worked through them. Fabulous!!
I agree with what Lisa said. I would really love to see those in person, and talk with you about them, as they say so much. They are magical.

Thanks so much for sharing!
