Sand Dune I

Artist: Pam Haunschild Format: Acrylic mixed media on board, black float frame Dimensions: 11" x 14" x 1.5" Description: From an airplane window, sand dunes reveal a pattern language invisible from the ground — ridgelines branching like roots, light and shadow folding into each other across the land. Pam Haunschild painted this view from above an inland dune field, the terrain rendered in burnt orange and deep blue-green, its ridges traced in pale, vein-like lines that seem almost alive. Three beach stones, wrapped in copper wire, rest directly on the painted surface — small, tactile anchors in an otherwise sweeping, aerial composition. This is the first of a pair; its companion, Sand Dune II, takes the same aerial vantage point out toward the coast, where dune meets water.
