The landscape in this painting is inspired by the land that is prominent in John Steinbeck novels—think “The Red Pony,” “Of Mice and Men,” “The Grapes of Wrath”—often glorious and yet inhospitable. It seems to have a love-hate relationship with its inhabitants, at times.
The author's name is stamped in gold (to some extent), and some crazy book borrower has scratched in a quote from Of Mice and Men—"We could live offa the fatta the lan'"
Painted with cold wax and oil on a wood panel, the piece measures 8" x 10.25" and is 2" deep. The sides are painted with a gray-matte finish. It is fitted with a buy sawtooth hanger and is ready to hang. With its depth, the painting would do well displayed on a shelf as well.

MY ARTIST STATEMENT—Painting is a daily ritual for me, as I continue to discover ways to express myself through art. My goal is to create artwork that represents how I see the world around me—or how I hope it could be, a place where mercy, benevolence, and peace are commonplace and can be found around any corner, under any tree, or beside any stream. At the same time, I desire to create meaningful work that others forge a deep connection to and bring into their own home as a unique expression of who they are.
