Getting medieval!
series of landscape studies, acrylic on on large, repurposed canvas. Still room on the canvas for at least 8 more!
I've always been fascinated with early landscape art, with its wonky perspective, fantastic shrubbery, and anatomically questionable inhabitants.

A recent visit to the Isabella Stewart Gardener Museum gave me the impetus to try it out.


Inspiration:

   I bought this book at a flea market in Cape Cod for $4. I went through it picture by picture and copied sections that caught my attention.
