VISIONARY METAMORPHOSIS

I have long been a rock hound, having an interest in minerals.
My father was the president of the local gem and mineral society;
and we often went on mining expeditions into the mountains of
California.

This painting shows the metamorphosis of birds and other beings
into stone composites. This is, of course, essentially a surrealistic
approach to art.
