About the Item
Digger is a framed oil painting on panel. 12" x 12". It portrays an Armadillo digging around for his food which is a common scene around Texas
Artist Statement:
" I am inspired by the simple everyday interaction of the animals in their environment: the way the light dances across the form, the harmony of color relationships and the shapes of light and shadow. I prefer early-morning light or late afternoon settings, with extreme back-lighting. My focus is on the farm animals, their character and the use of color, light and texture to convey a mood. "
