a”Peculiar Offering”

I wanted to share this painting and a little bit about it with you. It is a large painting, 48 X 72 inches ( two panels 36 x 48 panels). I painted it way back in the 1990’s. I exhibited it a couple of times and then it found its way into someone’s collection. Sadly I did not keep the best records back in the 1990’s so If you own this painting send me an e-mail.  The title of the painting is “Peculiar Offering” I discovered this little pile of boulders while hiking near Fish Lake in central Utah.  I love the rocks in the area I really enjoy how time and mother nature have dressed these lava boulders in pale yellow-green  lichens. The cool green lichens are periodically punctuated with patches intense orange or yellow.  I may  be  one of the few people who appreciate the beauty hidden in those rock piles. I plan on revisiting the rock pile theme in my studio in the near future so check back and see some more old work and some new.

Right now in the studio as part of my “oil paintings of Utah” series I am focusing on a couple of images of the arches (Turret, the north and south windows). I also have some desire to paint a little more of that amazing blue water of Cozumel.  Check Ebay and see what I am auctioning. If you are interested in work like this painting or others you have seen e-mail me.
