Abstraction

I recently read a book about Melissa Zink and her artwork. I was really taken by some wall pieces of hers that were 3-D collages that came out/went back/came out/went back. I decided to do a canvas with the illusion of that out/back movement in space and to depict a rock formation we'd hiked along in Utah several years ago. (We'd climbed up a trail through rocks and scrub brush and were astonished to find a meadow growing on this high plateau with a high rock formation jutting up all along the far side.) I like how my rock formation has a feeling of depth and also the feeling of a building, giving it a bit of mystery. The meadow and the rocks almost look like a quilt, too (probably showing my love of Gee's Bend quilts and my friend Penny Gold's art quilts). I think I'd like to try some more of these abstracted landscapes, and I'd love to hear some feedback on them.
