rock painting in progress

I have had several comments on this piece as it develops. And people really like rocks. We see the beauty in them, relate to their stillness and understand the proximity.

This morning I realized that rocks are how my journey as an artist began. In the mid ‘90’s I went on a road trip camping trip for the first time into the magnificent state of Utah. On a hike in at Arches National Park I was called like Richard Dryfuss in his movie Close Encounters to paint The Delicate Arch.

And so it began ~ it took all of one summer to paint.

Keeping the brushes wet,
