5 of 8 pieces from my Botanica series

Works range from 914mmX914mm to 1067mmX1372mm. All are oil on linen, except one (acrylic and coloured pencil on paper). Two disparate influences are reflected: My concern for environmental matters, and my fascination with the potential to use realistically-rendered objects, shapes and textures from the natural world to create abstract images. My work frequently juxtaposes human influence into the natural, but in these particularly-submitted pieces, I rebel altogether and create an entire field of vision --- an energy field, if you will --- bereft of human objects, and filled only with mesmerizing shapes from botany. An abstraction of the truly real.
