City of Rocks

Several years ago we went to a campground called City of Rocks State Park in New Mexico. I never forgot the giant boulders dotting the landscape. Today the draw of that desert site pulled me strongly and I made this sculpture.

I found out that Idaho has a City of Rocks and a park called Craters of the Moon. Hopefully one of these days I'll be able to travel again. Meanwhile I made the plate above. Thanks for reading and for all your comments.

  1. That plate is lovely. I was going to say "too cool" but that sure dates me.

  2. There is amazing majesty and beauty in the 'sparse' landscapes isn't there. Love that it fuels your creative self. And love what it fueled.
