Pannotia

This striking 11x14 canvas presents a complex geological narrative through fluid paint, perfectly embodying its title's reference to the ancient supercontinent. The composition features dramatic contrasts between deep charcoal and black regions densely packed with cellular formations, flowing into warm terra cotta and peachy expanses that suggest continental drift and tectonic activity.

Intricate bubble patterns and honeycomb-like structures dominate much of the surface, creating texture reminiscent of volcanic rock or fossilized coral, while smoother flowing areas evoke molten lava streams. The interplay between the dark, heavily textured zones and the cleaner, flowing warm tones creates a sense of primordial earth forces at work. Golden and olive green accents add depth and suggest the rich mineral content of ancient geological formations.

The painting captures the essence of deep time and planetary formation, making "Pannotia" an apt title that connects the viewer to Earth's distant past when continents were just beginning their slow dance across the planet's surface.
