This painting was completed by the artist during his time in Alaska when living in the field as a geologist. The painting represents two opposing forms: non-focal point paint distribution and traditional landscape painting. This is the result of the specific conditions involved with its creation. The canvas was attached to thin spruce trees and the paint was applied to mimic the two trees behind the canvas along with the surrounding boreal forest environment. In addition, the work provides a random and generally uniform application of thickly applied paint enabling unfocused contemplation. Finally, the painting includes various clues regarding the living conditions of the artist at that time. The painting was created using various media including acrylic-based artist paint, wood and fire pit charcoal, on primed canvas. The painting measures 20 in. by 24 in.
