TIERRA

This series started off with just a need to paint something that was out of my usual scope of content. I just wanted to paint from direct observation without any strings attached. That didn’t happen. As I travel throughout the State of Texas, and other parts of the Southwest United States, to set up pleinair painting sessions, I realize the ground that I’m standing on has a relentless spirit to thrive. I firmly believe we are connected to this land, and do my part to defend these ancestral lands. I’ve also realized that each painting becomes an actual document focusing on climate change, thus making these works much more important.
