Influences around me.
Looking around my garden, I constantly wish I could capture somehow the thrill that watching the plants gives me. Looking at artists that have captured the thrill.

Energy, Spiraling, Reverberating
Some themes that keep coming up for me are the movements in nature that I see as Spiraling and Reverberating. Here are two more.
Each piece is a 12 x 12 encaustic painting on a wooden panel.
The top piece is called SPIRALING BIRDTALK.
The bottom piece is LAYERED REVERB.

New work in a summer of heat.
It was extra hot this summer so that working in a heated medium was less desirable. However when the spirit calls the artist goes to work. Perhaps the cool palette was my answer to making paintings with a quiet, soothing tone in spite of the weather.

Revisiting older work
The inquiry from a curious collector made me return to my storage area to look once again at some work that I had filed as "Potential". Asked "Do you have any more landscapes?" I remembered these 2 which I felt were almost finished. On closer inspection I gave each another scrutinizing and then added what was needed. This is the part of being a painter I love, that is the ultimate control to decide.

OPEN STUDIO - an invitation
Normally an artist spends countless hours in solitary confinement. The process of making art is one that demands attention, focus, thought and a good deal of physical labor. So when it comes to OPEN STUDIO weekend in VT suddenly one's quiet, private world is opened and welcoming the world to come take a look.
Join us.....MAY 26 and 27 from 10 until 5 each day!

COLOR
Recently in an interview I was asked about my use of color in my work and although I gave a spontaneous answer I like this one from Matisse much better.
With color one obtains an energy that seems to stem from witchcraft.

Can ART change the world?
Recently I had a show at the Equinox Village Gallery and in the sign-in, comments book that was there for patrons and viewers there was a comment from a man I didn't know but it said...Looking at your work is so peaceful. This stuck with me, bringing up alternating thoughts of "oh no, my work is not in your face, punchy, controversial enough" to "wow, I was able to transmit peaceful energy to someone through my painting."
I stayed with the latter and decided to use it to spur me on, to continue "my challenge", combining the 3 interests that have stayed upper most for me.....painting, yoga and gaining in a communication with plants by growing them.
Special thanks to that gentleman for his comment.
