EU Timetable

Mixed media (acrylic, paper, maps, and gold leaf)
24" x 48" (diptych on two cradled birch panels)

EU Timetable illustrates the first European vacation I took with a group of strangers.  The trip was great but I was unprepared for the rigid schedule that accompanied the group tour.  It was such a whirlwind as we jumped from activities to meals to hikes, before packing up and heading to a new town to start all over again.

My painting incorporates the cobblestone streets and the gold-domed churches of Italy that I loved.  Over that is layered the clock gears (made from the maps from my trip) and horizontal stripes that represent the hectic timetable of the trip.
