Memories Quiet Interlude
30” x 30” Acrylic and Mixed Medium
Memories Quiet Interlude was inspired by a walk with my dog by a stream. Time seemed to stand still as I gazed at the place where the water changed course at the horizon and I decided to recreate that feeling in this painting.
The painting includes embedded objects and textures. I do this in much of my work because I feel that it gives them an added dimension as well as something new to look for with every viewing.
This painting was recently juried into the Ohio State Fair’s Fine Art Exhibition, Professional Division, and was on exhibit there from July 26- August 6, 2017.

Dawn–you’ve captured so beautifully just how I feel when I walk through the woods every morning. I love how you used the textures and colors to give that “feeling”–that feeling of somehow being transported to a place where time and distance lose their relevance. Your art literally transfixed me. Thank you!
Lovely! Congratulations on the Ohio State Fair Fine Art Exhibition!
