New: “Duneland”

This piece is a good example of the importance of not falling in love with your first idea for a composition, like I did. I climbed over this dune a few months ago, and to the East there were three summer cottages peeking over the dune grass. Thought it would make a nice composition, but what really struck me was the huge expanse of dune running along the shore. After getting well into the composition…and not liking it, I took out everything but the one thing that should have been the only thing there all along. “Duneland” 48 x 48 o/c.
