“Country fields turn to gold.
I walk tree-lined roads,
Stonewalls mark the way,
My destination ahead.”

During the winter/spring of 2014, while in St. Pete, I studied Mondrian. His paintings have always surprised me by how much emotion he generated from what could be easily described as a cold and calculated set of intersecting lines and geometric shapes. He almost always used primary colors and I wondered what I might be able to do with a more neutral palette. Could I take an idea from a rural or urban setting and transform it into a set of simple geometric patterns that evoked the original picture or idea?
