natural world
The granite circle #99 represents the natural world that envelops us. Carved in the ring are animals, plants and trees symbolizing the world.
The large granite circle was part of the ealiest design sketches of the mural. I knew the mural would have a lot in it and I wanted a couple of large elements to contain the various details.

small details
A detail of one section of the granite ring.
When I first painted the granite ring the diameter was 18 feet across but the width of the actual ring was only 9 inches. My wife Jen’s comment was it was too narrow. Over the 4 years of painting the width of that ring increased in width 4 or maybe five times, finally ending a 13 and a half inches. Jen was, of course, right.
