Fresh off the Easel Fe203

I am trying to create a cohesive body of work for my solo show at the Arts Club of Washington, in March 2016.  I am considering using "Down to Earth" as my theme.  These works of art will be inspired by Mother Nature.  Many of my paintings are inspired by rock formations, as is this one which has pieces of rust added to show the iron oxide in the rocks.
