Old Mother

I painted this while I was living in Okinawa, Japan. There were a number of huge, beautiful, trees there, with complicated interwinted roots. This picture, of Mother Earth as an old, strong woman, borrowing her body from the trees and knitting a waterfall out of mist, came to me while I was sitting beneath one of them; and I just had to paint it.

The original was oil on gessoed illustration board. The outside dimension of the mat was 16x20 inches. The opening is oval because there was a very nice oval mat cutter at the craft center on base, and it was easier to use than the square one!

• The print has an image area of roughly 7.25x9.25 inches and comes matted on a piece of foam-core board. Open edition, signed by the artist. $25 + $5 shipping and handling.
