off in the distance
towering high and blinking
whispering home’s near 🦊❤️
“Towering” is the latest acrylic landscape in my “Wissahickon Wonders” series. I was asked to paint a scene that prominently includes the “farms” of communication towers located near Roxborough that can be seen from not only Wissahickon Park, but most locations many miles away. There are sentimental reasons why I was asked to paint such a scene that revolve around a feeling of “safety and security” and “being close to getting home” when they are seen from a distance. I have learned from other folks that the towers also provide them with that same good feeling of “getting close to home” after a long drive. Coincidentally the towers have previously showed up in other painting in this series. When I first decided to start including them I was hesitant because I thought that they might make the scenes seem “goofy”. I guess I was wrong. The painting is a 10” x 20” acrylic on stretched canvas. I hope you like it! 🦊❤️
