The Year The Perma Frost Softened
The Year The Permafrost Softened, oil on paper ©2011
A series of small paintings confronting a likelihood of our changing world where climate is a big issue. Earthy landscapes, oil paint filled brushes slide over paper, insinuate a rapidly moving landscape. Telephone poles, lamp posts, boats, water towers, horses and dogs are captured in the action as earth’s crust makes new adjustments.
