My mother's yellow, abstract landscape is one of our family's favorite paintings. It was in her wild, early mid century period of exploration and texture. We got white marble dust from Marble, Colorado, that she used when knifing the canvas, I have great memories of this period, and my father kept it in the center of the entrance of his home. throughout his life. My father's, bank that was chosen was actually done during this period also. The Republic National Bank, in its brutalist concrete style was when Cinderella City , in Englewood, Colorado, was starting up one of America's 1st shopping malls, and it was a highly controversial structure, like most of his pieces, that were done in the early 60s are now still timeless today. The cyanotype, flower prints, I make in the summertime while gardening with my daughter, Poppy, and wife Kristen. I enjoy doing these because,, you can print and make photographs outside in the daylight and pretty much take the exposure and then wash it right out without any technical dark room or any special equipment. It's very gratifying to produce from flora and fauna from your own gardens.
