It was a steep and treacherous hike up the mountain in the Adirondacks.  A wild region full of deer, herons, and chipmunks.  You may even find a moose, coyote, or black bear on these trails.  The dense pine forest opens up to a meadow full of brisk autumn air.  The lake below is startling in its calmness.  And from this view, it's as if we can see all six million acres of this park.

This painting would look best in a space that is red, orange, purple, yellow, green, blue, beige, or wood.

There are fields as far as she can see.  And she can see the curvature of the earth.  A road that only reaches the horizon.  There's a whole world of people, parties, and extravagance.  But here, it's all about the self, solitude, and simplicity.  

This painting would great in a space that is maroon, light green, dark blue, purple, beige, black, natural wood or a dark space.

Another world tour.  And making a new album at the same time.  With a new group.  Then came the nickname "Mad Dog" when six members of my entourage were arrested for pot and the brawl the next day in Australia.  We were kicked off the continent.  The rest of the 70s were a blur of recordings and booze; booze and recordings.  

This painting would great in a space that is red, orange, yellow, green, light blue, purple, beige. or natural wood.

I follow the winding path not knowing where I'll end up.  The trees rustle in the breeze stirring up the aromas of the forest.  A freshness one always has to remind themselves of in civilization.  The light refracts in strange ways at this time.  It's when the surreal becomes the real.  

This painting would look best in a space that is deep red, light orange, light purple, green, light blue, beige, or wood.

NOTE: The frame is very old.  While it is a very nice frame, there are a few dings and a piece mission in the decorative molding.
