Joshua Tree National Park inspired Original oil-based painting By: C.Abercrombie

(31in X 25in)
It may sound strange to talk about stone in terms of personality, but in Joshua Tree National Park, it’s a thing. These rocks in JT are massive but also finely sculpted, giving it a special quality that reminds one of faces and fantastic creatures - sort of like cloud watching. Similarly, it can also be hard to capture. This work recedes into shadow while pulling forward into full sunlight, lending depth and solidity to the stones. This painting looks to have multiple faces in the shapes, which give the scene an ineffable sense of presence and mystery I feel in this landscape.

This original art piece is a oil-based painting on a gallery profile canvas with hand-painted, neutral-toned edges for a contemporary look with or without a frame. The work arrives ready to hang.
