Dharma Bums – Adley
COUNTRY:
Dharma Bums
DESiGN:
When I was working up on Desolation Peak, my son Adley hiked up to help for a few days. The best of times. You can see the twin spires of Hozomeen Peak in the background of the painting and a hint of the Milky Way which arcs from Hozomeen in the north across the wide night sky to Sourdough Mountain in the south ( where a firelookout we also worked stands watch ). And you can see him reading in bed with a headlamp.
In the frame on the left is a photo I took from outside the lookout on my way to brushing my teeth. It inspired the painting on the right. This piece now hangs in Adley’s home in Chicago.
