“Among the Cottonwoods” is one of Jason Tako’s latest paintings. Based upon Golden Section proportions, the pattern of the cottonwoods leads the eye across the painting to the pair of Shiras Moose that were seen in Grand Teton National Park. More patterns are seen behind the moose in the distant tree trunks. The fallen branch on the left echoes the angle of the moose’s neck. In the foreground the sage is painted with thick strokes of impasto paint applied in an abstract manner in order to create an interesting texture up close that blends into a realistic suggestion as the viewer steps back.
