The Wall, Acadia
The Wall, Acadia
Allan Forrest Small
$850.00

Selected for Exhibition
Artist statement: This solid wall of rock, with fallen segments, presented an interesting arrangement of abstract angular shapes and contrasting warm and cool colors. The soft greens in the background formed a perfect foil for the rust and blue-gray of the rocks, as well as a nice contrast in texture; and the clear, bright blue sky was the ideal compliment for the orange tones of the cliff.

Allan Forrest Small
