some new 5x5" #paintings from the past couple of weeks
Back to painting places I love, and just finished this one. I'm trying to work fast and be not-precious about it. Image is from a backpacking trip in the Sierras from a couple of years ago; David tells me its looking south towards Alpine Col in Darwin Basin. That was a sweet place.

Finished this drawing today, getting reacquainted with some of the visual language I used in previous map drawings. Pastel offers lovely color, graphite for the mountain, conte for the linework, approx. 36" x 52"

If you are reading the news, weathering the storms of awfulness (for weather it we must), you may want to try a plugin for Firefox called 'detrumpify' - which replaces a certain name with an insult on any webpage. Can also swap images of said person with kittens. Screencaps below.

First post / Intro: I’m a multidisciplinary artist deeply connected to the practice of walking and exploring landscapes. My art and writing are inspired by the experiences and reflections that arise from these drawings of the present moment.
