Acrylic on Linen
In this piece artist Foad Satterfield uses color, light, texture, and imagination to recreate his firsthand encounters with the natural world. This painting has a strong emphasis on water and the variation that exists in nature. While the subject is clear, subtle clues illuminate the magic found in the simple setting. Satterfield expertly uses color to both blend and separate the water, ripples, depth, and shadow. This work explores both the real and unreal found in the natural world, from the plant life and water to the emotional connection we each share with nature, ultimately creating a highly personalized viewing experience.

Fish Camp #2
No full text80 x 84
Acrylic on Canvas
Artist Foad Satterfield awakens our visual senses in this rural mountain landscape of Fish Camp, California, a small community outside Yosemite National Park. In the impressionist style the artist has captured a moment of quietude with the use of luminous colors, vivid brushstrokes and reflective light. In the foreground we are greeted with the artistic recurring symbol of renewal and birth: water. The compositional balance of diagonal and vertical lines creates a sense of energy and motion, drawing the viewer deeper into the painting, awakening the senses.

Cenote Secour
No full text72 x 68
Acrylic on Canvas
Cenote Secour is an abstracted interpretation of nature. The artist, Foad, uses abrupt brush strokes to give it character and to mimic the world’s imperfect balance. The strokes are so fluid that it is impossible for the eye not to flow with them and admire the movement we typically see in nature. The choice of colors are from our natural world yet wild and true to the relationships they inspire. This piece not only reflects nature but mimics our inner chaotic natural self that enjoy the many forms and colors of life.

Experimental videos in studying the influences of dry- and wet-bed downstream conditions on dam break multiphase flood waves in a reservoir with 20 cm sediment depth (67.7% silted-up)
No full textExperimental videos:
Herein, 24 distinct video files have been presented which related to dam break multiphase flood shock wave experiments, performed in the Shiraz University, Civil and Environmental Engineering Department’s Hydraulic Lab (Shiraz, Iran). The initial upstream sediment depth was 20 cm which makes the upstream reservoir 67.7% silted-up with respect to the total 30 cm height of the reservoir. Different initial downstream conditions have also been considered including dry-bed downstream and wet-bed downstream with different levels of standing water; 2 cm, 4 cm and 5 cm.
Considering three cameras which covered length of the flume, 4 different dam break scenarios and 2 repetitions conducted for each test, a total of 24 videos collected which presented in this document.
The additional explanations related to video files can be seen in “Explanation table of videos” file which attached to this document in Microsoft Word (DOCX/DOC) format.

Big Garden
No full textAcrylic on Canvas
96” x 106”
For three years I noticed the change of texture and color in this large hedge located outside of our Emeryville Condo. The seasons revealed to me various aspects of density, space and color. This was a large plant sitting in an open space with a lawn as foreground and an interesting background of geometric shapes that were the building behind it.
It became clear to me that this observation was a metaphor for the subtle shifts of perceptions that I experience when my attention was drawn to this area, over and over again. At this point I began to think of making a painting of what I was feeling. There was the question of scale, how big should it be; how would I manage painting this deep and dense foliage without it becoming comic and descriptive? Most importantly what was I trying to say?
To date I had never attempted a painting at this scale or complexity. I tried not to over think making it, or the process. However, I did give myself some very specific parameters; use only large tools, use only a few hues and do not correct myself in its execution.
This painting opened the door for me in considering a series of large scale and related works such as: “Hollis Street Garden”, and “Big Fish Camp”.
As I began to focus on using nature themes as a point of reference I intuitively recognize that these themes were broad and could stimulate critical observation and active participation in constructing alternative perceptions and meaning.
