Sketches From a Town in the Rainforest

Sketches from a steamy rainforest in the heart of Africa from long ago and far away in another time and another place when I was younger than today and things looked different but were as normal as could be in their own reality of what once was.

In a world that was black and white and colour including technicolor,

and yes, it is a small world after all.

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.

Edge of Spring

Orienting to sunlight and warmth, we dream of spring.

Fresh green shoots of grass beckon, riches growing from the near death of winter.

Just a suggestion.

Drawing as Method

Indeed method is a way of doing something, carefully planned.

There is control but am not so sure about the planning.

Drawing as Meditation

Repetition of lines, yet the forms are endlessly varied. And of course, some are indeed more forgiving than others.
