"Beyond the Blue" - 18 x 24in Oil on canvas - Donated for Auction
"Beyond the Blue" reflects upon and honors the monumental strength and courage of all those who have served and sacrificed in the line of duty.
The colour blue, so often associated with law-enforcement agencies is predominant throughout the piece. Mt Rainier stands monumental beneath her ice-blue snow cap, like a sentry on guard, protective, holding fast yet still while deep beneath a roiling mass of molten lava and volcanic ash is yet contained, The contrast between dark and light is strong and clear here, the light especially intense and powerful. A closer look reveals angelic form in the light.
The original painting will be available for auction at the 21st Annual Washington State Law Enforcement Memorial Ball & Auction on Saturday 13 April 2019.
