Wire hanger on back. I have tried to photograph without glare on the plexiglass. Come see it at our preview. Oranges, rust, blue, gold...lots of abstract color and texture! Information from Carole's website: Carole Barnes teaches water media workshops across the country and is a frequent juror for state and national watercolor exhibits. She has received over 50 awards in national shows and has been included in many books and magazines. Using acrylic on paper, I apply paint, lifting, scratching or writing into it. I create textures, shapes and surfaces until a mystery or reverence connects with me. The symbols become a mysterious language melded with color, buried and then emerging to the surface again. With this process, I explore, experiment and search for the essence that moves me. My goal is to capture the sense of a time or place and to do a painting with a spirit of its own. Carole D.
