Description

Door in the GreenI love the mystery of a doorway opening into a mass of green foliage. I love giving the viewer a large role in filling in the story. It reflects the feeling of early summer when everything is just bursting with new life and greenery.

A friend of mine had the idea to turn this image into a placemat and we spent a fun afternoon going around to different stores

The history in the layers of paint is being revealed

and the exhilaration I felt

and settles on this double diagonal that whisks your eye in and out of the picture plane

I can still remember sitting in this vegetable garden after the harvest

influenced by Asian brush painting using brilliant reds

I tried to capture the way the light was reflecting off of everything

This pattern comes from an original mixed media drawing inspired by Berkshire scenery

It was an attempt to use watercolor thickly

sitting in a garden as the tomatoes were drying out on the vine

Something about a wilting flower elicits not just sadness but also joy in its enduring beauty

and became fascinated with the intricate folds of the leaves and petals
