Cirrha

This work showcases Osborne's trademark approach to visual art: a clever balance between realist representation and colorfield-like abstraction partially indebted to Bay Area painter Richard Diebenkorn. This is a shoreline landscape depicted from a swimmer's perspective. The water is in the foreground; in the middle ground are boulders - the ones at left are printed in red and orange, the right group of boulders are colored green, orange, and brown. In the middle ground is a green pasture. On the horizon are yellow and green hills. The sky is colored in a gradation of blue.
