A Ragtag Rendition of Topography, Something from the Early 1980's


A Ragtag Rendition of Topography
mixed media
12 x 15 3/4 inches
Sometimes half the fun is finding a name for a painting.  I am not sure it ever had a title.  Yesterday, while walking in the woods it came to me.  I already knew I wanted to use topography.  Looking at snow hidden within the thicket of sticks and branches, I heard the word ragtag.  It seemed to fit in a literal kind of way.  The painting was in part old paint rags.  The random arrangement was left mostly untouched.  I liked the unsaturated nature of the paint.  The fabric was still free to breath.
