These landscapes are of places near my studio in the Hudson Valley. "Swampland Totems" for example, is about rock formations and how they lay scattered on a sloping hill. "The Shifting Sun" represents the suns movements as it passes along a wooded hill above an area of wetlands. "Blue Ice" is an abstraction about the way water seeps through and freezes on rock formations along the highways during the winter.
