Acrylic painting from a photo that I took in Barcelona, Spain. This piece has been selected to be published in AcrylicWorks 6: Creative Energy in May 2019. It has also been accepted in the Illinois State Fair (2018).

This painting was made after a visit to the beautiful Japanese Gardens in Portland.

This piece is collaged with hand-painted papers. It is painted on 5 canvases and framed with different old architectural elements, including a rusty can and wheel.

These pieces can be interchanged with those attached to the canvas. All are jointed for a work of art which is always different
