Here is a video study of the stream bed in Bryce Canyon National Park. Recently I set up my new studio near Bryce and Zion National Parks. Now I can steep my work in these geological wonders. I am deeply grateful for this opportunity.

The forest has been a source of ideas and inspiration for 45 years now. These paintings draw upon decades of careful observation of forest structures and movements. The surface of the paintings are built up in a way that relates closely to the bark of the aspen tree. Filtered light and weather elements are also worked into the matrix. There is a blending of chance applications or random marks with precise geometric structure.

These paintings go through a layering process that includes the introduction of absorbent strips of paper followed by a capricious application of various tonal washes. The thing that is most fascinating to me is merging chaos with order.
