Bodie

Bodie Collagescape, mixed media on board, 8”x10”

Bodie is one of my favorite “hidden” places in California.  A well preserved, ghost town and state historic park – it’s a bit remote and far from any interstate that it never feels crowded and it’s always worth a visit when I am over in California’s “VIP Lounge.”  It also inspires me to paint.  In the latest piece for my collagescape series I wanted to capture the colors of the dry grass, bricks, rust, old wooden walls and the gray of the galvanized metal.
