Mending Wall ~ Double Portrait

This is one of several stone wall paintings in a series of mine from the early 2000's inspired by Robert Frost's poem, "Mending Wall". This is an actual section of stone wall in the middle of the woods behind my house in New England. In this one, there were two distinct groupings side by side evoking a double portrait.

This is professional grade acrylic paint on canvas. The painting measures 48" high by 84" wide on a 1.5" thick stretched canvas. It is framed in simple 3/4" wide wood strips painted black and screwed into the wood stretcher bars. It's wired and ready to hang. This is painted very loosely with quick brushstrokes and intentional "irregularities" and drips inherent with painting. The surface is glossy.

A few lines from Robert Frost's poem, Mending Wall:

...Before I built a wall I’d ask to know
What I was walling in or walling out,
And to whom I was like to give offense.
Something there is that doesn’t love a wall,...
