There were many Locus works - over 100 pieces. Some were as small as 8 by 10 inches, others were up to 5 by 6 feet. the series was colorful, sharp, made with a great variety of materials and based primarily in abstracting from local landscape scenes. The works, which began as highly derivative musings on Diebenkorn's project, eventually became much more specific and distilled to my own ideas about formal elements of the Midwestern landscape.
