Majestic Nature Series
On canoe camping expeditions through the desert canyons of the Rio Grande and through the wooded mountains of the Ozarks, and as I canoed through rapids on whitewater rivers, my biggest takeaway was feeling small and insignificant in the face of majestic nature. Many of these paintings place animals that we know and love in their natural setting, not dominating the painting, but only as a focus point in beautiful and powerful landscapes. Others show an almost anthropomorphic personification of powerful natural elements, such as the awe-inspiring Sinopah Mountain or the threatening power of a distant sudden squall.
