Tribute: James J. Elting,<br />

Chair of <strong>the</strong> Board<br />

On <strong>the</strong> Cover: Griffing, D. Ghost Ranch Denizen. 2001. Private collection.<br />

Artist’s statement by Dr. David Griffing, Associate Professor of Geology, <strong>Hartwick</strong> <strong>College</strong>:<br />

Ghost Ranch Denizen is an example of <strong>the</strong> geological inspiration of my artwork. one of my favorite<br />

painters, Georgia o’Keefe, lived <strong>and</strong> painted many works at Ghost Ranch in New Mexico at <strong>the</strong> same<br />

time that dozens of dinosaur fossils were being discovered on <strong>the</strong> property. Although she met <strong>the</strong><br />

young paleontologist <strong>and</strong> had him identify many cow bones that she painted, she never used <strong>the</strong><br />

fossils as subject matter. This painting attempts to use some of her techniques to render a single<br />

skeleton of Coelophysis.
