Nature

Under the heading of Nature come paintings of trees, gardens, fields and other landscapes. Do I need to say anything about the glory of an apple tree in bloom or one weighted by fruits? Much has been said about the serene beauty of a garden and the striking magical presence of flowers. I’d rather paint the poetry.

The fields around the house where I live are harvested for hay. Walking among the bales I am taken by their (potential) mobility, their strong, almost animated presence.

Our farm is an endless source of inspiration and delights.
