Lost Coast Grassland No.2

A medium abstract landscape, 16 x 20 x 1.5 inches, acrylic on gallery wrapped canvas.

The Lost Coast Grassland series is based on a backpacking trip I took along the Lost Coast in Humboldt County.  Walking through the grasslands along this epic coast line one hears so many sounds.  Many of the sounds are metronomic, like the swishing of grass, breaking of waves, and the rattle of seeds and rattlesnake tails.  These are mixed with dissonance, like the barking of elephant seals, sudden gusts of wind and the cries of birds.  This series explores the visual feeling of sounds.
