The Approaching Storm
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.

Atmospheric Illusion
Based on something not true, the illusion of land, and sea, and sky might be wrongly interpreted by a first glance.
It is in appearance only that the impression of colours, forms and light are seen as reality.

Drawing Outside the Box
The title reminds us of a metaphor used unceasingly since the 1970s and 1980s by management consultants; used as a metaphor for novel or creative thinking.
L.Mould, (mixed-media, ink on paper 9" x 7") 23 August 2021

The Constant Shore Reprised
Constant in its colours -- in the contrasting blues, greens and rust; constant in the renewal after a long winter dormant under ice and snow, and fierce winds.

Avoiding Circumlocution

Reminisce
Reminiscence -- an old tale re-told, or a reconfiguration of an ancient truth?

Flooded Light
It is an exaggerated light; it is a stretch of the imagination. Is it too bright? How can anything but the sun be too bright especially in the deep winter; in those days of early gloom.

Circuit Breaker!
Circular lines of movement that start and end in the same place. Even when you're living on the periphery disruption is really a thing.

3.5" x 3.5" Drawing on a Square in January
The square shape changes the lines – they seem short; proceeding requires more
thinking about the spaces – about the negative spaces and the positive spaces and the lines that make everything happen.
