- 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. 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.
