Patience Required

Patience Required
14x18 oil on canvas

This is the third in my series of knots. I had started the series when I came across the lobby of the Ace Hotel in Palm Springs. The huge plate glass windows in the entry were covered in a maze of tangled ropes. I became decidedly uncool in that very cool setting.

I probably would have taken the painting a little further, but I left for a week long painting workshop that has got me excited about moving in a different direction.
