"Supernatural B.C.", oil and acrylic on canvas, 48"x72", 1986

This painting was inspired by my experiences treeplanting in 1986-87 and was based on a sketch I produced from memory after returning to camp at the end of a days work. At the time I was working near Prince George in one of the largest clearcuts in B.C. The cut had been recently burned in the previous days and as the morning mist cleared and I started to plant, I could feel the heat rising from the ashes.
