Memory Series artwork. This piece was a mural I painted on the wall of my studio/office space back in 2016. I took the photograph of the mural, brought it into Procreate, and worked with it there.

A multimedia painting of a night-time landscape. A marshy scene with trees, bushes, cat-tails, and tall grasses. Roots sprawl beneath the surface of water, holding stones, bones, and pottery fragments. Pollen and moths float in the night sky. The background is black, the scene is drafted in white acrylic paint pen, there are abstract gold accent shapes in the sky and soil.

A painting of a landscape at dusk. A deep blue sky with white clouds. A dark hillside with a tiny grove of bare trees, at a distance. Many white pages of a letter float in the air across the landscape, flying off towards the horizon. The piece has three triangle-shaped layers of canvas, resembling the open flaps of envelopes.

"Tethered II": Black gesso, acrylics, and oil paint pen on layered canvas. Copyright 2024 The Awetist aka Adam Auron Lodestone.
A painting of a landscape with a brilliant blue sky, rolling hills and mountains, and a dark field in the foreground. There are white clouds drifting across the sky. A red kite is tied to a fence post and straining to break free. The piece is layered with 3 triangular pieces of canvas on the right side. Those layers are placed so as to resemble open envelope flaps.
