Ungnarled Sky1_Collage

10.0 x 8.0 inches

Northwest of Santa Barbara, California the small, picturesque town of Solvang rests amid the beautiful rolling hills of this area. Gracing the crests and ravines of these hills are many Oak trees. While driving into Solvang on this completely clear and glaring summer afternoon, my eye was drawn out beyond the roadside fence line to this dead, but still standing old Oak on the adjoining hillside. The intuitive sense that it promised some striking images was so strong that I quickly parked and hiked back down the road, and over the fence to explore. This three-shot series - Ungnarled Sky - was the result; now duplicated in sepia tones and this series of composite collage compositions.
