This painting is an abstracted landscape inspired by the kind of satellite imagery seen on the Google Earth and NASA websites. During a trip to Santa Fe, I made sidetrips to Taos and Los Almos. The mountain going up to Los Almos reminded me of fingers. The Santa Fe River flash flooded that year; we saw petroglyphs, forests, canyons and mountains; all influential in the formation of this painting.
