Often rising early to catch the morning light, he stood at precarious points on rocks that extended into the pounding surf. Using pigments that he mixed from raw materials, he worked directly so as to record waves in motion, as they broke against the knife-like edges of craggy outcroppings, their presence evoking a primitive geological past. In these images, he juxtaposed nature's endurance and its temporality. ADDITIONAL NOTES & CONDITION REPORT This is one of Bogdanove's best of Monhegan I feel and quite a large painting.
