This oil painting on burlap was completed in March 2004. As in most of my work, it’s about exploring connections to nature. This painting is about providing survival, though shelter and nourishment. These “simple” needs can be dissected in so many ways.

Burlap was a great textural ground to paint on. There are actual small holes in this painting that contributes to the meaning. Writing this, reminds me how enjoyable it was to experiment on this unusual ground. It’s one my goals to do a series on burlap.

Starfish Can I admit something completely awful/weird? I've never noticed her before!! I think I was always so preoccupied with the dead rabbit haha. The closeup on her face is great!

ps - I'm sure Pale would have you do a burlap series all about Dune haha :P
