"Just living is not enough", said the butterfly, "one must have sunshine,
freedom and a
little flower."
-Hans Christian Andersen
This site represents a collection of paintings, made over many years, since
I
began the
journey of learning how to paint. For me, this particular artform is a reflection of our widening
seperation and
exclusion from Nature. When we look into landscape art, or even practice it, the
urban
spectacle
is momentarily lifted and
a window is
presented into a world from which we have largely stepped away from.
"everyone must take the time to sit and watch the leaves turn red"
"April may be cruel, having to march in a chain, flowers, the birds, can begin
again"
"Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass on a summer day is hardly a
waste of
time"
