Smokey Ridge 2 is a nostalgic work of art on textured paper. Across a minimalist picture plane of serene tones and familiar geometric shapes, the iconic imagery of the American barn takes shape. Vertical slatting and darkened doorways and windows draw the eye toward weather-worn boards and textural shading for a presence that feels both antique and three-dimensional. Set against a background of cool gray, a palette of vanilla onyx, and dark brown beautifully completes the imagery. The second of a three-part series on textured paper, Smokey Ridge 2 gracefully captures the nostalgia of an iconic form in this addition.
