By 1982, my graffiti style landscape forms were evolving into a primitive form of naturalism. I was subconciously becoming tied to my observations of the natural world. This painting was intended to be a simple flat shape of a long hill in a non-representational context but I had been commuting along the coast during winter storms while I had been working on it. I was extremely frustrated with this picture until I had turned it into an island in a storm. Though the shape is different in real life, this is what Catalina Island looked like during the week that I found resolution in this image.
