ACRYLIC ON CANVAS
Melanie Goemans
The lines of the tree hover between tentative sketch
and authoritative stroke, underscoring the memorylike
quality of what we see around us. The sense
of a past remembered is accentuated by the contrast
between the precise foreground and the painterly,
two-dimensional background. Like Melanie Goemans’
other works, this piece was painted from a photograph
taken during her daily walk.
