Great painting! Fascinating description aswell. It would be an abstract but by the placing of the small building on top which occupies very little space youve made the abstract into a satement on reality ie the real world.

Great painting Stevan, with the "small" mine highlighted.

Stevan, I think this is one of your best works, a wonderful amalgamation of texture and colour. The addition of the mine is a reminder of whatever we build it’s inconcequential to what’s beneath.

Thanks for the feedback. I feel this is an extension and development of my style so it's good that you like it. One of my best Fiona! I like that as I'm of a similar view. Thanks again. Steve

I have created strata with gesso under painting and allowed the geology to blend. The old mine ruin merely anchors the abstraction to reality. As a first attempt I personally like the result and I hope it creates an impression on the observer.
