After 50 years of painting, you might think that I would
have a reasonable grasp on the process. But, nope.
It's still the same frustrating and exciting activity it was
at age 18 as it is at 70+, offering the same conflicts
and delights. I have been fortunate to have been able
to paint while raising a family, teaching and through
the various moves from place to place. The work
reflects those changes, in particular the move to Maine
in 2021. At that time, I wanted to paint more outside of
the studio and reference the current environment .
While Maine's natural landscape is wild and beautiful ,
my interest was in human activity. I enjoy the liveliness
and challenge of painting a constantly moving world.
Currently, my subject matter has shifted from plein-air
painting to invented depictions of personal fables
using plants, animals and insects. This new endeavor
begins with an observed setting ie; landscape ,
shoreline, roads etc. then I incorporate the
players-small animals, insects and plants.
