"Abstract Landscapes || Aerial Topography:

When I think of some of the most profound and equally beautiful abstract landscape artwork ever produced, Richard Diebenkorn comes into my head first. He was one of the earliest pioneers to employ both geometric abstraction and as well aerial topography within many of his landscape series works.

Today's featured piece, "The House at the Lake (3)," was created within very much the same conceptual framework that Diebenkorn was after. This new series is designed to deliver abstracted aerial views of homes and structural elements along with land adjoining space; lakes, streams, ponds, sea and oceanfronts, and even more.

Within the series of Six (6) works to date, I have chosen to vary the complexity, density, and pigmentation of each piece. Given that, the uniformity in this series is easily seen. The one I have chosen to show you today (#3) is a piece which is less about design complexity and more color and balance. If you choose to look throughout the series on my portfolio website (go to the "raw abstract expressive" page), you will quickly understand what I am saying here as each piece has it's own unique delivery.

Much like Diebenkorn, it's obvious we both want to deliver more of a "metaphysical" takeaway rather than depict the pure "physical" nature of the space referenced. In part, I am quite sure Richard was also referencing the exquisitely stunning compositions that surround us all daily, - that many times go fully missed and unappreciated. I am going after that very same thought within this series and the piece shown here today.

I hope you have enjoyed your viewing and brief discussion on today's featured work entitled "The House at the Lake (3)."
