Iceland: New Sketch of a Hot Spring

Sketch 3 - Hot Spring, incised Plexiglass and painted panel,10 x 12 x ½ in.

Plumes of steam rise from the landscape in the Icelandic countryside. Geothermal springs are used to heat homes, greenhouses and produce electricity. The steam escapes in puffs and veils that contrast with surrounding deposits of rusty iron oxide and yellow sulfur.  I painted the panel in dark tones in order to utilize the smokey effect of sanded and incised Plexiglass.  (The second wood panel underneath is not part of the project.)

I am working on Sketch 4 - Mountain Stream at the moment.
