In early 2020 we began to have art shows based on themes.  Our second show of the year was "Nature". I started working on a textural piece without really knowing where it would end up (as usual).  As I added layers of texture and color, the piece started taking on a look that I wasn't happy with.   I scraped off some of the texture with a palette knife and the more I removed, the more a face began to emerge.  As a I stood back from my easel I saw what my piece was about... the destructive but beautiful nature of mother earth.
