Endurance
18 x 24 Acrylic painting
The last two paintings I painted were the result of a grand adventure I had while working in archaeology. I was doing some fieldwork in northeastern Utah some years ago and I had the notion to paint some of the photos that I took along the way. 'Endurance' was painted from a photo I took on the McConkie ranch where I was graphing petroglyphs. I was intrigued by the way the tree was perched on the rocks out of which it was growing. 'Canyons' is from a photo I took near Flaming Gorge. The ridges and the rocks were interesting to me. I love nature and it was interesting to experience the different landscapes that I encountered on my cross country trip. I wish I had taken more pictures.
