High Desert Gallery & Custom Framing
of Central Oregon is pleased and honored to make available artwork by nationally
acclaimed Oregon artist, Paul Alan Bennett. "The painting started with the idea of two black labs running along a pathway beside the Metolius River. One dog is seated. The other gallops away. Black Butte is seen in the background. Besides the thematic content, what intrigued me about the piece was the compositional elements. The rhythms of dogs and Black Butte shapes can be found echoed throughout the shrubbery. Even the border carries over the pyramid shapes of Black Butte as well as the colors found within the main body of the piece. The Ponderosa Pines serve to divide the painting into musical stanzas, across which rhythms flow in a horizontal fashion. The active dog plays against the passive, seated dog who is in the center of the piece. The world spins around that older dog who is quite happy with his lot in life. Both dogs are happy, totally one with the sounds of the river and the texture and smells of the landscape." Paul Alan Bennett - January 2007
