About The Artwork

This work was INSPIRED BY a beautiful pink and white rose-covered chicken coop with a basket of eggs ready for the pick up on the stoop in a beautiful natural setting. Some of the hens were outside enjoying the fine rose-scented day seemingly communicating with one another. They seemed to be not much different than their human counterparts on that very same day outside talking with each other, enjoying their day and their rose-covered cottages. The similarities between nature and humanity struck me here as it does most everywhere. I hope that VIEWERS WILL FEEL as enchanted by this chicken coop as I am and that the next time they have the opportunity I hope they will stop and smell the roses! TECHNICAL MATTERS: I used my "go to" acrylic paints because of their pure bright colors and versatility. I can slow down the fast drying time of the paint when I want to blend colors, render and draw into the paint; and I can utilize the quick-dry time when I want to intensify the luminosity of the painting with layers. The painting has a beautiful hand-carved dark green wood frame with plinth blocks and red rubbings on it and a small distressed silver insert between the wood and the painting. It is shipped ready to hang.

As a painter, I am an explorer, uncovering, recording and rearranging the beauty of the natural world, as well as the beauty of human beings. I select and distill the very essence of my subject, harmony between nature and humanity, sometimes combining the two. This symbiosis makes the finished work even more beautiful than either of its constituents alone. When you first visit my fantasy world, you will notice a lot of extraordinary things going on in my paintings. For instance, I might substitute a bird for a hat, or a butterfly for a bowtie. These unusual substitutions function as symbols and provide subtle clues and playful suggestions about my work. The shapes of birds and hats, or butterflies and bowties, are so similar that viewers never even question the replacements. I pick the substitutes because they fit graphically and visually. But it is more than that. We as humans fit with nature. We fit together so well, in fact, that I am able to paint a natural object–a butterfly–in place of the bowtie–and viewers can see this as truth. My world will refresh you with its vibrant colors, textures, and interchangeable shapes as you immerse yourself in the integration of nature and humanity. You will be at peace with yourself and at one with nature. You will experience nature in a totally new way and see beauty in places where you never before thought to look.
