conceptual notes

Desolate thought contains themes constantly portrayed in my many different works. This piece was originally sketched as the stones by themselves, containing no stairways, openings, or other focal points.

Some stones challenge normal perceptions and clash with the paintings chosen perspective. The large stones atop may sit flush with the ground or sit raised because of the small stones under them in combination with the lack of shadow. No shadows have been attributed anywhere to create further blending of the two different perspectives.
