Acrylic on linen

This acrylic painting on linen is one of a series of 10 that the artist developed from a painting that incorporated a photograph she took of a flatbed truck used for transporting cars.

The element of interest on the truck was a sort of ladder with soft-cornered rectangular openings.  She extracted all but the ladder structure from the photo, punched out the openings, and digitally superimposed the image on a painting in progress.

That digital montage became the model for the first painting. Each successive painting took on its own identity completely apart from the source materials, with the soft-cornered rectangles and the palette being predominant constants.
