Ocean Spray, 36x24
36 x 24 inches, Mixed Media on Canvas
In Ocean Spray it is the impact of water against rock and wind against water that inform the marks on the canvas. The whip of a wave in heavy wind creates its own little band of weather made of mist and spray. Our eyes are drawn to these fleeting but compelling events. The drama of a wave being broken by the jagged edge of land is something we can watch over and over again. How high will the spray go above the top of the cliff, how much further will the surf push its way amongst the rocks?

Heavy Seas I, 36x24
36 x 24 inches, Mixed Media on Canvas
In Heavy Seas I and II the subtle mix of neutral colors acts as a counterpoint to the drama of the subject. At first glance perhaps things look balanced and serene; the even march of black areas, the organic patches of ochre at the top and the careful divisions of grays through the center. But look again and the suggestion of a boat may become apparent. Suddenly the black shapes can become rocks threatening the boat. The yellow ochre is a menacing cloud mass and the gray-blues become the color of the sea on a stormy day. Patches of light in the top and lower portions of the paintings offer an idea that the weather will change, the sea will calm and the boat will slip away from danger.

Tempest I, 36 x 30 inches, Mixed Media on Canvas
Tempest I and II show the dance of air and water. I can feel the wind whip the hair across my face. Being outside on a beach or in a boat in a storm can be harrowing and dangerous but also awe-inspiring and unforgettable. The sea and air often take on a greenish tint and the dark clouds are echoed in the water.

The circular shapes become the moon and moon-lit flowers or reflections in water in Blue Moon. The aura of the moon leaks into the surrounding sky and shimmers on the edges of petals of the plants. The air is languid, moist and everything seems to be reaching toward the moon.

Clear Tomorrow shows the aftermath of a storm, the ‘pink sky at night, sailors delight’ kind of evening. The wind is moving off, the sky is clearing, birds are flying out to repair their nests and we are out clearing branches from the yard.

Bird Migration, Nesting, 43x43
43 x 43 inches, Mixed Media on Canvas
Birds inform the energy of Bird Migration, Nesting. Each spring the yard fills with the repetitive calls and preening displays of avian courtship. Scraggly clumps of moss, twigs and animal hair (shed hair from horse tails is a favorite) are gathered and sometimes dropped in the yard as the nests are fashioned. There is constant motion, back and forth, swooping and diving, fighting for territory or a favorite box and then feeding the young. No rest for the weary goes for birds as well as any of us lucky enough to have children. Thoughts on painting can also be thoughts on parenting!
