four from the badlands

Gold Gate - Red Ridge  
acrylic on canvas  ~  30" x 40"  ~  $2800
Blazing gold, amber, orange, and red, evening light settles as a shimmering skin on the buttes and ridges of the High Plains. Open space returns no echo. A gate awaits. 

Chalk Butte Road
acrylic & xerox transfer on board  ~  22" x 12"  ~  $600
 Undulating, serpentine, a vanishing ribbon of crunching gravel runs to exactly nowhere. Chalk Butte Road carries you off into the open, into the space and empty of a border country. 

Pink Morning Mist - Ochre Butte
acrylic on board  ~  27.5" x 17"  ~  $1000
 Dawn begins with a burning violet brightening to a glowing and gossamer pink, hiding the far buttes backing away to the western horizon where night runs off. Golden autumn grasses flame on a near slope. Yellow shafts of morning clip by the frazzled heads and careen through the red stalks of tufted little bluestem. 

Red Shirt Creek - Reprise
acrylic on board  ~  22" x 12"  ~  $600 
 Broken badlands country, twisting draws, sculpted ridges studded with juniper and sage, and bright conical buttes enfold the valley of the Red Shirt. A windswept sky, a tattered and streaked dome of gold, spreads across the jumbled land.
