Oak roots and plantation house, Louisiana - Limited Edition 2 of 25 Photograph

My photo images are abstracted, layered, colored with paints and pastels printed on paper or canvas. I print my images on archival fine-art paper or canvas that's varnished for colorfastness. The prints have a slightly smooth texture. The image size is 16" x 20" with approx. 1/2" white border around the image. It will ship rolled in a heavy-duty tube. These impressionistic images are strongly influenced by California painters of the early and mid-20th century. Though I began photographing in the pre-digital days of black-and-white film, hiking the rolling golden hills of the Central Coast moved me to begin painting and coloring my prints. From that experience, I fell in love with color—golden rolling hills, deep summer greens, intense sky blue, soft purple and orange sunsets. My work has always communicated my love and appreciation of the landscape and the importance of wilderness for the health of the planet. And these days, it also explores the emotional impact of color on the mind and heart.
