Here are a few of the paintings that I did this spring and summer that are now at the David Erikson Fine Art Gallery in Salt Lake City They are interpretive paintings. David said he could tell I was painting about something else, and the subject matter is a vehicle for me to comunicate what it is I'm trying to say. Those weren't his exact words but to that effect. I appreciated it because that is exactly right. I was trying to say the same thing with the desert and the west where I grew up as I do with the tangled woods where I live now.
