Next meeting is January 7thAbout this months topic presented by Nigel E. Turner, Ph.D. (not in geology):
When I was a youth, I vacillated between being an artist or a geologist, but somehow ended up as a mental health epidemiologist. Fortunately, my job often takes me around the world and I've used that time to collect rocks and photographs. My art and rock collecting often co-occur. I take numerous photos of landscapes and later at home cobble together the best images to make paintings. When I paint landscapes I'm always mindful of the geology of the subject being painted. In this presentation I will show photographs of some of my geologically informed landscape art as well as some of the source photographs. Paintings will include mountains, cliffs, drumlins, valleys, sea shores, and sea stacks. Instead of Happy Trees like the ones Bob Ross used to paint, I put in the faults, and cirques, and layers of dolomite; Happy dolomite cliffs.
