Rockscape 2
Rockscape II (16" x 20" Acrylic, Oil, Marble Dust on Wood Panel)
I had a grand time building up these textures with marble powder. It's a departure from a lot of what I do, but I love and miss the massive rocks from the Western deserts where I grew up.

Kudzu Spirits
One of the first things I noticed after moving to the South was the kudzu draping the trees and changing them into strange, Max Ernst-like monsters. James Dickey wrote a poem about the kudzu--here's a tiny excerpt:
half out of leafage
As though they would shriek,
Like things smothered by their own
Green, mindless, unkillable ghosts.
