The summer solstice; it is the anticipation of the warmth of the earth, the beauty of a flowering world. It is a festival of brilliant light and long days.

Midsummer
The landscape features most prominently in the body of my work. It is a landscape of suggestion, rather than a faithful figurative rendering; it is a landscape of fiction and abstraction. Major influences on my work have been the Canadian landscape, the tropical forest of the Congo and the land of the Mediterranean/Middle East. Born in Exeter, Ontario,I studied at the University of Prince Edward Island, McGill University in Montreal and the Université du Québec à Trois Rivières.
I always ask one question; when does the unconventional become so utterly conventional as to become uninteresting - dull in fact? I hope these are not dull whatever else they are. Let me know what you think.

Dry Rain Revisited
It has other names – a dry storm, a virga, a shaft of dark clouds looking as if rain is expected.

It all evaporates before hitting the ground -- not quite a mirage.

Reading is never silent
Sometimes it shouts even if it is in the inner ear.

Dry Rain
A dry storm or a streak of cloud is a weather phenomenon. There is a technical term for it. The painting is reminiscent of others I have done called "Shaft of Sunlight" (also in this blog) and two paintings done in 2002-03 called "Intervention" one a study for the other. As is so often the case these have more than the obvious meaning but sometimes it takes a few years to see what that is. Let me know if you would like to see the 2002-03 paintings called "Intervention".

Coastal Dance
It is a fine dance among the elements; it is a play on light and wind.
