Horizon With Yellow Hue III / by patrick pryor

Horizon With Yellow Hue 3 (to fix).jpg

Horizon with Yellow Hue, 36x60 inches, acrylic and mixed media on canvas - this work was created with layers and layers of paint applied with a rubber brush and a little bit of fine pumice powder to make it sandable - and I sanded and sanded and sanded. It is a meditative process - like most, if not all of my work, and it takes a really long time! Which I enjoy, and I hope you enjoy too.

This particular painting was initially and in part inspired by miles of undeveloped beach in Mexico where I spent a day with friends, lounging, talking, playing, and eating fresh pizza built of bricks and clay. We were just north of Sayulita, Nayarit which is north of Puerto Vallarta. It was one of those amazing days that remain etched in memory indelibly - every face, everyone I met I recall completely.
