Canyon Solstice. 10x13 inches. Mixed Media on Paper. 2010.
This new painting was inspired by a Native American rock drawing I saw recently in Seiber Canyon in McInnis Canyons National Conservation Area in western Colorado. The original rock art drawing is situated in a precise location on a red rock panel so that, at noon each summer solstice, a shadow from across the canyon bisects the rectangle horizontally. This is such an inspiring idea, I think I might do additional variations on this theme.
