In the time since Katrina struck, the landscape has been altered--concrete is cracked and grass and new trees sprout up in new places. We continue to live in this landscape, one that has always been dominated by nature and her persistent power. These landscape paintings are part of a series on the grace of our post-storm land- and riverscape.
