IN THAT QUIET EARTH (POSTER)

POSTER 18 X 36

IN THAT  QUIET  EARTH:

“In That Quiet  Earth”  is a  piece that I  did  to  honor  my  Dad  (a master  watercolorist (www.leegaskins.com).  Once  in a  while,  my  father  would  create  a double (or  even  triple) image- hiding large  elements (usually  figures)  in his works. Though  I  dabbled  with  this  concept,  this  image  is  the  first  time that  I  seriously  added a large double  image,  which would meld  with  the  overall theme  (I’m  not  going  to  tell  you  what/where  it  is- lol).   The  genesis  of this  concept began  in the  late  80’s  in  an  old  sketchbook  of  hands, that I began  to combine  with  landscapes.   Again,  I  used  a prior  piece entitled-  “Landscape  with Hand”  and  really  ‘zoomed  out’  but  spilt  the  elements  to  help  the  composition  (I  consider  the composition  of a piece the most  important element  within  a work  of  art). “ In That  Quiet  Earth”  is the widest  panoramic  image that I have ever created.
