This is another early painting - from a photo I took of an eroding hillside just north of Norman. Earth and earth forms fascinate me - I love the feel of it and the way it molds itself on the bones of the earth. The red clay of Oklahoma is rich and beautiful and the way in which this hillside was eroding into a gully is quintessential Oklahoma earth. This painting now belongs to an artist friend who has been a mentor since my early attempts at painting. I usually don't frame my paintings but he has surrounded this painting with a magnificent frame which gives it a presence that I never knew was there.
