 In these paintings I continue to look somewhat abstractly at nature. Water  and plants figures prominently as subject matter, water which itself is a palette in its reflection of sky and geography, and a window to what lies beneath its surface. Water is always in flux and I think that’s its appeal. You never know what you’re going to get.

I’m particularly drawn, for example, to the juxtaposition of a beautiful, graceful bird like the egret among massive rocks and cliffs along the shore. The egret effortlessly lands or takes flight while the rocks remain solid, dark, and unmoving with only the tides changing their appearance. The bird is present and still in the water, in marsh grasses, but its departure is light and swift into the element of air. This simple, natural action is the kind of moment I try and capture in my paintings.
