Forest Stream Reflections

Walking through the Pootatuck State Forest after a heavy rain in early October, this is a view of the stream along the Fire Trail. There are just enough green leaves still on the trees overhead to cast a chartreuse light on the water. The shadows reflect blue from the sky. These are damp woods, and moss flourishes on boulders artfully strewn across hills and valleys by the last passing glacier.

Good Night Phoenix

The last in a series of paintings inspired by a recent visit to Arizona, this time unique in that the subjects were urban, downtown, a new venue for me. Standing in a hotel room, watching the sun set beyond the window, the reflection caught my attention. How contemporary, to see through so much glass. Landscapes through windows - this is how most Americans see the world today. Perceiving life as layers of reflection, separate from the actual thing. Reality has become a mind-game of perceptions - or was it always so?

Downtown Phoenix Sunset 6

The pool railing was left out of this painting as it detracted from the subject. The geometry and wide range of ephemeral colored light make Phoenix sunsets a unique sight to behold.
