Sand Dune II

Artist: Pam Haunschild Format: Acrylic mixed media on board, black float frame Dimensions: 12" x 12" x 1.5" Description: Where Sand Dune I looks inland, this companion piece turns toward the coast — the same aerial perspective, but here the dunes run straight down to meet the water, rust-colored ridges giving way to pale sand and a band of deep blue at the edge of the frame. Pam Haunschild painted both from photographs taken during a flight over the dunes, drawn to the patterns that only become visible from that height. Three more wire-wrapped stones sit on the sand at lower right, grounding the composition in something tactile and real. Seen together, the two paintings trace a single landscape from two directions — inland and coastal, dry and wet, each shaped by the same wind and the same patient geology.
