Study for Yosemite
1993–1994

A whimsical painting depicting a forest scene with oversized pine trees and a lake, framed by a textured border adorned with pine cones, a pine branch, and small objects. The trees have faces and dollar signs, and the background includes mountains and the sky with scribbled text and symbols. The phrase "BUY NOW PAY LATER" is visible in the sky, suggesting a commentary on consumerism and nature.
