Egyptian Sun

This magnificent piece was a commission for someone who had recently traveled to Egypt and been deeply affected by the beauty there.

Egyptian Sun is 36” x 56” (91 x 142 cm), using 9 different colors for the center and black panne velvet for the border. Previous pieces had a much more gradual evolution of palette and it was exciting and dynamic to play with the more dramatic changes in this one. From a certain angle it seems almost like a comet, scorching through the atmosphere with unstoppable power and grace.
