Ancient Traces
2018, 35.5” x 44”, acrylic on unstretched canvas, by Jenny Badger Sultan
Several earthscapes came into this painting--some occurring naturally such as Rainbow Mountain in Peru, the Blue Eye of the Sahara, the Tesuque camel rock in New Mexico, and some gigantic formations made by humans--the Turgai swastikas and the Bestamskoe Ring from Kazakhstan, the Great Serpent Mound from Ohio, and the stone “gates” from Saudi Arabia.
