This square abstract piece, "Inyo County," draws inspiration from the dramatic geology of California's Eastern Sierra. Created with acrylics on a smooth birch wood panel, it evokes the rugged beauty of lava flows and cinder cones. The artist's decades of travel through this volcanic landscape are evident in the high-contrast interplay of black, white, and striking orange hues, with the sage green of the desert foothills containing ancient rock formations. The 10x10 inch dimensions make this a charmingly small artwork, perfect for adding a touch of dramatic desert abstraction to your home. Its 1.5-inch deep sides are painted in off-white and it's finished with a protective matte varnish. Signed on the back and wired for immediate display, this vivid abstract landscape could grace a bookshelf, add a pop of color to a gallery wall, or enhance a cozy reading nook. It was created with a unique blend of natural inspiration and painterly abstraction.
