Joe Knaus, teacher, “Echo,” acrylic on canvas, 16×20 in.
This abstract piece is a reflection of the feeling of isolation. In a challenging year, most of us felt a need to connect. This piece symbolizes the simple need to connect, whether it be a conversation or a distress signal from miles away. The process was done quickly to emphasize a “reaction” and very little brush work was applied to evoke less “control.”
