Happy Birthday, Columbus!

This year marks the 200th birthday of Columbus, Ohio and the city is celebrating all year.  In response to the momentous event, I created this painting, Columbus Reflections.  It is a mixed media piece that juxtaposes the present and the past.  The city skyline is reflected in the Scioto River, with current events reflecting back in the newspaper clippings.  However, the past rural history of Cowtown is also revealed in the reflections, as the memory of cows suggested by clouds floating over the city. Enjoy.
