Day Lilies, 18H x 24W inches soft pastels on paper. After 5 days of chasing an unsuccessful forest piece, I ripped it up, broke free of the frustration and had some fun with a new subject, colors and a completely different style. Art: no rules! This is my answer to “if you’re not enjoying it, why are you still working on it?”

Indian Paintbrush, Gifford Pinchot National Forest regeneration, near Mt. St. Helens, WA – 18H x 24W inches soft pastels on paper
Mt. St. Helens is still an active volcano about 50 miles north of Portland, OR and 100 miles south of Seattle WA USA. The last major eruption was in 1980. It disrupted all ecosystems near the volcano, except aquatic ecosystems in the area benefited from the amounts of ash. Most lakes in the area had returned to their normal state six years after the eruption. 42 years later, new growth forest is abundant, and many seasonal varieties of wildflowers thrive in the dry but mineral-rich soil.
