Catskill Mountains, 2002

Oil on Canvas, 10 x 18 inches

Collection of the Artist

In this picture, I can say that brown, yellow, and red color scales are mostly used. The

painting has a desert ambiance. The style is oil on canvas, and a 10 x 18 inched canvas is

used.

This is a very interesting picture, because it explains some emotions like loneliness,

passion, and freedom. It also has a very dynamic style. The rock figures are very different too.

To conclude, I can say that this picture is successful if being successful means that

taking the observers into a different world while looking to the painting.
