Approximately 46” tall, 17.5” wide on a 2.5” deep canvas.
While originally painted before the rest of the “Strange and Feral Futures” series was envisioned, this Nevada landscape was an early predecessor of the series. Painted from a rough plein aire sketch in Rancho San Rafael park, the Cattails hang out in the foreground with stylized mullein at our feet, a field of wild wheat between us and the ever present mountains of the Sierra Nevadas.
Cattails are heralded as the supermarket of the marshland, as nearly all of the plant is edible. Mullein is also edible, although its fuzzy texture gives it limited usability. The flowers however make for a tasty snack or addition to a salad. As a known hyperaccumulator, its ability to draw heavy metals and toxins from the soil make it an interesting tool in our arsenal for re-terraforming earth.
