Tangled Arms

11” x 14” art

12” x 15” framed

Acrylic, watercolor, and gouache on panel

Many arms are tangled in this depiction of a collection of humans sitting side-by-side, taking in the view of the modern multi-level structure nestled into the landscape amid the reaching boughs of leafless trees. They seem to all hold each other together, as humans, our buildings, and the terrain that bounds them always do.
