El Nino art

 

The process for making these type artworks require me hosing everything off at some point. Its usually cold and snowy here in December, so I lucked out and got a few more in at the end of the year. I'm delighted.

Making art like this requires inspiration, careful planning and execution, then completely letting it all go and dealing with the outcome. And many years of practice!

public land

 

I worked these from memory drawings at the state land near my hometown. I'm so glad we have wild places here in Michigan. I ride my bike through this place most days, just to look at the state of things. Once when I was in the preserve I found an old sign that read "public land". I really like that. I sang "This land is your land , this land is my land" for a couple days afterward.

Public Land and Watershed are two major projects for my work at this time. With the whole rug thing running throughout.
