The Arranged Stones series came from a chance encounter with a few attractive stones that I picked up along a walk. I immediately decided not to paint the rocks in their natural environment, but instead wanted to show them against a spare, interior setting. I wanted the subject of the painting to be nothing more or less than the rocks themselves: rocks as still life subjects that I compose and then transform into an interesting painting. I chose also to use watercolor to depict the rocks, in order to show and emphasize their bright, often translucent natural beauty.
Mineralogical Record Museum of Art
A collection of various mineral and mining artists through out history. High quality, full color images are divided up by mineral or mining and then by artist. The most complete pictorial reference of mineral art on the internet. Highlights include art by Wendell Wilson, John Sinkankas, James Sowerby, and Rose Ann Fox.
Through out the history of mineral collecting there has been a need and a desire for collectors to own artwork that displays the majesty of chosen specimens. Think back to the years before color photography became the standard in both the Mineralogical Record and in the prominent books on Mineralogy at the time, and you can see the long standing relationship between fine art and the study of rocks and minerals.
