Close Encounter

Close Encounter grew out of my fascination with space, mathematics and the sheer number of possibilities in the universe. I wanted the composition to feel mysterious — something that can be explored rather than immediately understood. Look closely and you may notice a small alien-like form hiding in the upper-right area. It is a quiet little reward for the viewer who takes the time to investigate the surface.
 
Completed on 18" by 24" heavy watercolor paper. This piece comes signed and dated. It will require matting and framing to hang on the wall.
