- In this Southwestern Still Life Oil Painting,
"Spring Solstice," an original oil on panel, I was
interested in creating an artwork that reflected objects of the
ancient Indians of the American Southwest in a setting shawed
some of the fine masoary which I had seen at Chaco canyon. The
basket is old Jicarilla, the Indian pottery was loaned to me
from a private collection. I drew my inspiration for the imaginary
setting from having visited Chaco Canyon in New Mexico. The ancient
Indians must have had the luxury of enough time to have developed
their craft to such a state of fine art.
