This landscape probably didn’t need any help from me, but I added some hand coloring anyway! The additional color is intended to better express my emotional reaction to the butte on the day that I took this photograph.

Returning to an early series where I digitally illustrate photographs, this 5th work is also a companion to the Explorers series – think of it as a piece of the landscape the Explorers are currently traversing in their story.

In this fourth artwork in the ongoing ‘Hand Painted’ series, I was again inspired by a desire to combine the hand painting style of Hans Bellmer with the landscape tradition of the modernist photographers like Ansel Adams. Much like the photographs Ansel took, I want you to ‘feel’ the emotions I was experiencing when I was there, and I present to you my best interpretation of that moment.

Inspired by the raw power of nature in recent global natural disasters, this artwork envisions a distant future without humans where nature has rapidly reclaimed what we had previously built and returned it to its natural state.

This image is from a series of photographs that marks the first departure in my visual style, where I hand paint each photograph digitally. The work is inspired by the technique of the German artist Hans Bellmer, who also hand colored his photographic prints, and the photographic work of Ansel Adams.
