This painting depicts the dome of charcoal kiln ruins near an old mine in Utah. The rocks are fit together with old sand-colored mortar. Daylight peaks in through small holes near the top of the dome. These openings allowed small amounts of smoke to escape from the kiln. The painting is created with oil paint and charcoal made by the artist. The artist made charcoal from juniper, which is one of the woods burned in the kiln when it was being used for smeltering near the mine. The painting celebrates history and pattern: the history of charcoal kilns and the pattern of rock masonry. To accentuate the rock pattern, the painting is framed with two inch deep maple that is stained to a very dark umber color.
