In the process of looking and working on some larger paintings I have taken my love of photographing square-ups (seeing the details) and created notecards from these little harmonies... It’s another way of seeing the whole by breaking it down into constituent parts. And hey it’s fun. :) And who doesn’t love to get mail? Get yours here.
On vacation I am dreaming of surfaces and making photographs of surfaces in preparation to paint. Asking questions, seeing resolutions.
“For me, garden design isn’t just about plants, it is about emotion, atmosphere, a sense of contemplation. You try to move people with what you do. You look at this, and it goes deeper than what you see. It reminds you of something in the genes — nature, or the longing for nature.”
– Piet Oudolf
Looking forward to the screening of Five Seasons: The Gardens of Piet Oudolf at the MFA #pietoudolf #gardendesign #thomaspiper
Beauty in unexpected places.
Three panels from Woodfleet Project 2.0 an exhibition and sale to support Wellfleet's Preservation Hall. The last panel Flash sold at the event with half the proceeds going to the Hall. Sweet.
My nephew, at about 7 years of age, when asked "where are you going?' replied, " I'm gonna go see what I get up to." This response is dear to me in that it describes what happens when I go paint.
I believe it is this openness, this willingness to be a beginner that is needed to achieve the proper state of mind to paint.
"Insight preceded by humility". —Anne Truitt
The lost dune paintings.
Sometimes you long for the lost images, the ones that got painted over...

A garden full of wonderful birds, bees and folly. And a reminder of the generous gift of curiosity.
A decision we can make.

I have been creating animated gifs, this one celebrates Gaiter's single-minded love of treats. :) Refresh your screen to see him beg again. Woof.
