The Story

Along the Rock River

Blackhawk draws from the landscape and history of Rock River, Illinois, combining the profile of Black Hawk with the river, horizon, and surrounding land. The composition borrows from stained glass - heavy outlines, divided fields of color, and warm light - giving the piece the feel of an old window or handmade sign.

Project Notes

Blackhawk

The original is finished in a one-inch pine frame, burned Shou Sugi Ban style and finished in a warm cream-white that allows the darkened grain to show through. As each frame is finished by hand, slight variations from the example shown are part of the character of the piece.
