Wellspring

Wellspring is a painting of rapidly moving water about to flow under the bridge at the foot of Vernal Falls in Yosemite.  "Wellspring" refers to "the source," as water is the source of life and passes through this cycle every year.  My family and I have visited Yosemite every Spring for the past 30 years or so and Yosemite has always been a wellspring for us, a source of renewal and inspiration.

Deer Visitors

This painting began as an abstract design with sumi ink on damp crinkled masa paper.   The hills and mountains emerged as colors were added.  The deer just seemed to fit in at the end.  This is another painting based on memories of Yosemite.  20" x 27"
