Original artwork description:

The title given this mixed media painting was inspired by a bold impulse of mine to use pink brush strokes on the figure in the forground. I am interested in the commonalities and the contrasts that compare the female figure to the coastal hills where I live. Similarities between the two are how the lines rhyme in ways that are a sublime invitation to the imagination.
