Limited Edition Prints on German Rag Paper

Recently, I have been making a few limited edition prints on German rag paper. They are renditions of paintings I have created and subjects I have collected over the years.
“Sundance” is the first release of 2022. Aspen groves line the streets of the canyon near Sundance Resort here in Utah, and I enjoy giving them a contemporary twist. The way this image looks is often how I feel when walking through the forest. Trees, bushes, sounds, smells, wind, and sun all meld nicely together, like a hearty stew that has been cooking on the burner all day, nourishing body and soul. I hope you enjoy!

“Sundance” 11” x 17” on hand torn German rag paper. 6/6 Available, $400.

To see more available limited edition prints, please visit my website.
Here’s wishing you a Happy 2022 filled with health, friendship, joy and love!

Tree Spirits or in Japanese, Kodama

“Kodama” found a home with a new collector thanks to RARE Gallery and the Caldera House in Jackson Hole, WY.

Kodama (木霊, 木魂 or 木魅) are spirits in Japanese folklore that inhabit trees, similar to the dryads of Greek mythology. The term is also used to denote a tree in which a kodama supposedly resides. The phenomenon known as yamabiko, when sounds make a delayed echoing effect in mountains and valleys, is sometimes attributed to this kind of spirit, and may also be referred to as "kodama". ~Wikipedia

“Kodama”, 36.5” x 28.5” Acrylic on Multi-Panel Acrylic Glass  Painted on the front and back of six panes of clear acrylic glass, this painting is ten layers deep, and framed in a solid 1” deep, hand sanded acrylic frame.Private Collection
