The Source–Giant Springs” is a large-scale oil painting on canvas created in 2009. It measures 60″ x 48.” I build all my stretcher bars–the wooden frame the canvas is stretched over–myself. No power tools are used. It’s all with hammer and hand saw and staple gun. If you’re using power tools–air hammer, power saw, power staple gun–how nice for you!
A variety of life forms, plant and animal, including a magical bird, a squirrel and a bighorn sheep are nurtured by the spring. Bubbling thousands of feet to the surface, the Giant Spring is the source of all life’s delights.
