Falling into Winter -- meditations with morning coffee. part 1

October starts the real conversation.

(2025 October 28, mixed-media. 9" x 7")

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.

New Mexico Interiors

2024 February

Reflection takes place internally. Lots of thoughts to tidy up. These are articulated in their own language. The mind will go where it will go - our speech should be a little more guarded, a little more disciplined. This is the language for that.

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

Avoiding Circumlocution

Expressing an idea in ink seems terse, or just concise.

Reminisce

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

Quintessence

In the before the "before days", it was the fifth and highest element permeating all nature -- an ancient thought.

Mixed-media (6" x 4") 2020-Apr-4

Now it is the essence of something -- essence of ink, essence of expression, essence. Essence alone and not knowable.

Rendition

It is another interpretation in a long line of interpretations. There is drama.
