Rock Face

I just completed this mixed media collage to exhibit at the Mesa County Library in conjunction with selected pieces from the permanent collection of The Art Center. The exhibit is about Mesa County landscapes. I am generally reluctant to do an artwork depicting the Monument. I have always considered it to be a daunting undertaking because I live in the shadow of the red rocks. They are just too “monumental”. Anyway I tried it and enjoyed the process. The end product looks similiar to my pieces depicting Mt. Garfield. So be it.
This colorful work is on a 30 inch x 40 inch wrapped canvas and is for sale for $1500.00

This is another in my series of collages with Mt. Garfield as the subject. This one is on a 16 inch x 20 inch wrapped canvas.
This piece has been sold to the Mesa County Public Library for their art collection and is on display in the main branch.

This collage is done on a 40 inch by 30 inch wrapped canvas and is the second in a series of Mt. Garfield (the iconic hill of the Bookcliffs near Grand Junction). It was chosen to represent Southwestern Colorado in the Creative Capitol Series sponsored by the Colorado Council on the Arts and is currently hanging at Denver International Airport. It will move to the capitol building in Denver in December. This piece has sold.
