Spring is Springing in NV

Spring is coming to northern Nevada. You can always tell because the sage brush turns a little greener grey, and there is just the slightest hint of green grass that pokes out from under the dead brush from last year.

There is no water in the ephemeral drainages, so we are pretty low in snow this year. But the meadowlarks have made it, and they have quite a song.

The line of the mountains in the back also represents the fluctuation of the stock market, with the light coming out of the low point- I think many of us were “awakened” by a severe drop, when our lives changed. Certainly the very geography of where my family lives changed.

There is also a human figure in the naturescape, an arm lifting upward. And then the changes brought on by knowledge, awareness, loss… and for me, art.

A Soul in Torment

A Soul in Torment just kind of came out of me. It is almost humorously noir. I think I’ll just leave it at that.
