Drawing trees, on a walk, the direction and movement of their limbs, interconnected, and the shapes of the spaces they make. These drawings often are the start for a studio painting.

"The walk magnified is the journey" - the big landscape and then the closeness of a tree.

COLORADO LANDSCAPE
I found A POEM IS A WALK by A.R. Ammons - "I take the walk to be the externalization of an

interior seeking...".

There are many drawings done on walks in these books that I carry with me. So much looking,

then really seeing something, and then making a drawing.

The land and the aspen tree has been the focus of my work for the last ten years.
