Hoodoo Spring

Inspired by the incredible, looming, easily obsession-inducing hoodoo formations in Bryce Canyon National Park, this painting is a study in color, texture, and contrast. In painting it, I thought a lot about patterns that repeat in nature – skin tone, the musculature of this rock – and how, similarly to snow, there are surprising colors and shapes hidden in plain sight in sandstone. I have enormous respect and awe for these formidable formations and the eerie, beautiful, and quietly abundant landscape that supports them (and me!).
