Oregon's dramatic landscape cries out for realistic depiction, but the true power behind that landscape is often best depicted in the abstract. I've melded the two genres with my "Striagraphic" series.
Broken Top from the Three Sisters Wilderness in midwinter, Acrylic, 26"x20"
Heceta Head, with the most photographed lighthouse in Oregon, from the headland above the Sea Lion Caves on Highway 101, Acrylic, 26"x20"
The Organ Mountains in New Mexico from Las Cruces, where I spent a tense weekend waiting for my son Ian's rocket to blast off from the White Sands Missile Range nearby, Acrylic, 20"x26"
Hells Canyon at Dug Bar, where the Nez Perce under Chief Joseph were forced to flee Oregon in 1877 under orders from the US Army, Acrylic, 20"x26"
Oregon's national park, Crater Lake, projects strata onto the landscape to show the dynamism of the exploded volcano, Acrylic, 20"x26"
