Big Bend Spring

Desert springs are unlike others, arriving any time the rains come. In Big Bend country, wild flowers cover the ground, and cacti burst into bloom. The bold colors of Santa Elena Canyon at sunset bring the desert to life just as the rains bring sustenance to the plants and animals. The mountains and hills are like big dinosaurs rising in the distance.

I like to think of my work as having its own seasons. In this piece, the content is not only about season, but also the creative process. Work moves though one stage and then sometimes surprises me with another turning of perspective.
