Before Recorded Time 11 x 14” Oil on Canvas

My paintings are about textures and man’s relationship to his surroundings.  I often paint images that deal with the “domestic stage” in which people live.  I am fascinated with the natural textures found in a buffalo hide tipi and the converging lines the lodge poles create.  The circle is a recurring Native American symbol and I include it as a rendering of the sun symbolic of the radiating energy and passage of time.  Life existed on this domestic stage well before recorded time.
