"Wolf Moon"11 X11 inches Wolves still run free in the north country |
||||||
|
|
||||||
"Ivory in the Mist"18.5 X10.5 inches I join all who hope the Ivory-billed Woodpecker is still in the world. |
||||||
.
|
||||||
"Pileated Fall"17 X 24 inches The male pileated woodpecker swoops in from an old oak behind my studio. He follows the same flight path, almost like a road through air and trees. |
||||||
|
|
||||||
"Pileated Landing"15 X 25 inches The male pileated woodpecker trumpets a haunting, wild call ; flaring as he lands on the birch. The brilliance of this bird never fails to dazzle me. |
||||||
|
|
||||||
"Loon Dreams"9 x 12 inches This is a Scandinavian inspired study, based on the beautiful feather pattern of a loon's neck; visible only when the bird is sleeping or preening on its nest |
||||||
 |
||||||
"Loons Dreaming"18 x 27 inches I imaged the loons dreaming in a Norse myth within an ancient pattern known as asymetrical symetry. |
||||||
 |
||||||
"Spring Loons"14 x 24 inches A maple branch outside my studio often finds its way into my paintings. Its leaves are red in the spring and fall. The loons are bunched, as if just after a loon dance. I aligned the pattern of the loons backs to make an overall design. |
||||||
|
|
||||||
"Loon and the Moon"11 x 16 inches Loons are the voice of wilderness in the North Country. At night their voices carry from lake to lake and distant loons answer. This abstract design is inspired by a Japanese woodblock print. |
||||||
|
|
||||||
"Loon and the Wave"11 x 17 inches When loons dance they churn the water in a brilliant performance. The first time I saw the dance, I thought of the famous Japanese wood block print, The Wave. |
||||||
 |
||||||
"Fall Loons"27 x 11 inches Loons gather before migration and sometimes, they stay in the North Country beyond the first snow. |
