Juanita Bellavance, Land formation, 2020, Acrylic, 60 x 48 inches

For me, red represents richness, soil, strength and confidence.  This painting began as an experiment with pouring warm colors together in a contained area.  After it was complete and I stepped back the linework reminded me of a haze of a mountainous region and the warm area felt like those wonderful cross-sections of layers of the earth which always intrigued me as a child.
