set of two - oil on cradled hardboard, 12x6 each

 
  I've been experimenting in several directions recently: I've been fascinated with a 1:2 ratio for compositions, I've discovered the joy of the surface on prepared cradled hardboard panels, and I've been exploring creating works which consist of several individual panels. This piece is a great example of all three of those directions.

Cradled hardboard has a frame on the backside, so it can actually stand upright on its own. A multi-panel work such as this can be hung on the wall OR placed on a shelf, AND the collector gets to interact with its arrangement! This is another element of the work that I find interesting and satisfying. Not to mention the fun I had painting "essence of pronghorn" on the two panels.
