Balancing Rock
Oil on Canvas, 2000, 24″ x 36″
I knew that this would be an unusual subject and image, but I really wanted to capture what was going on here: the sharp diagonals, the patterns of domes below, which are very similar yet occupy entirely different spaces, the dwarfing of the rock formations over the plant life, the balancing rock that looks like some kind of bust in profile, the pristine sky with only a jet stream interrupting it.
