BUTTE AT TWIN CREEK, WY ©2000

Twin-creek Butte would be considered Mixed Media because it is both a silver print and a painting.

Hand coloring with transparent oils goes way back to the early days of photography. I used this technique shortly after moving to Wyoming in 1997, but I only applied oil to several images. It lends itself to western images in particular, because of the varied earth colors found in so many western landscapes.

This winter scene was one of my favorites before I retired from printmaking in 2005.

GREEN THINGS IN THE BADLANDS

ADOBE HILLS NEAR MONTROSE-

--I took a drive the other day through the nearby hills and did some exploring in a new area. I thought there was little else out there but juniper, creosote bush and the usual desert plants.

I took a questionable looking two track and ended up in this green valley below the vermilion cliffs in the background. What a great place for a short hike and a couple of nice images. Needless to say, I will be going back shortly for some more exploring before winter sets in.

Our dog Jake had a ball exploring the thickets and sniffing out the area. No people or vehicles to worry about.
