PICTOGRAPHIC APPROACHES TO LANDSCAPE PAINTING
This painting commemorates a trip to Lassen National Park in 1986.
The northeastern corner of the park features some very colorful dunes
set in a desert-like terrain with volcanic features.
I have had a long interest in petroglyphs and pictographs. Although Lassen
Park does not feature such prehistoric sites, I rendered my experience in
a style of art based on prehistroric pictographs.
Two largish figurative elements in this painting represent myself and my
friend, Doug Mallory, who accompanied me on the trip.
