Split Rock

Watercolor

21" x 37"

When you hike up North Cheyenne Canon you eventually step through the trees to find looming above you this rock of monumental proportions. It is set on the side of a hill with the path brushing past it on the right. Large enough to provide shelter in a time of storm or a solid foundation if one chooses spend time there.

When I first found Split Rock I felt compelled to draw and paint it and have since grown quite fond of my time spent there. The split in one end of this rock runs almost exactly north / south. It is this tremendous crack which makes Split Rock so interesting. A fascinating array of edges, textures, colors, shadows, and shape. This painting has become the cornerstone of my work.
