"Peaceful Shore" 36" 48" palette knife work by Donna Thomas

Using neutrals and a knife - Donna has created a series of works that soothe and satisfy.  Hard to accomplish but well-done!  Atlanta collectors have always loved representational works - places, scenes, subjects that speak to their interests or passions.  And yet, abstracts are here to stay in the South.  In this piece - Donna gives hints and expression about a place, but leaves everything else to the viewer's interpretation.  Exactly what a 'representational abstract' is all about.
