MARY RUSSELL PATTERNS

ELIZABETH LEWIS SCOTT FOXTAILS

9.5” x 18” — Oil $3,000 Making the smaller Acoma pot the star by playing with the composition of only two pots proved to be a fun experiment!

12” x 16” — Oil $3,000

Whether prompted by a mere glimpse or accumulated over time, I’m inspired by the character emanating from my models. What’s on the canvas may be based on a single animal, or on a composite of several. Foxtails refers to both the animal and the vegetation warming in the last of the late afternoon winter sun.
