This beautiful blue
planet on which we live, and which sustains us, is a place
of astounding beauty…. Particularly exotic are the
wilderness areas… remote corners of the world… the places
without trees…the cabins and small buildings on rocky
outcroppings.…perhaps adjacent to large wild fields….or
water….alone with the elements…where weather and surf and
winds can be extreme.
Equally splendid….regions
north of the tree line…sources of extraordinary light and
color, often at hours when the rest of the world is asleep.
Curtains of light swing and dance, the aurora borealis
shifting its shapes and colors at all hours, causing the
tundra beneath to shimmer in reflected light….Iceland,
Greenland, and the Canadian arctic are locations with
magnificent - and sometimes tiny - fields of berries…or
wildflowers… glorious patches of color amongst the mosses
and rocks.
These are the subjects of
my paintings.
