Patterns of Green and Blue

They are sources and mouths, a cut above the usual; they are banks and valleys. Old rivers that wind and flow towards the sea are captive within their courses.

Channels.

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.

Once I Lived on a Mountain -- reprised

Once I lived on a mountain. It is an ancient mountain, a historic mountain, a significant mountain. Held to be sacred, still it is not spared modern development. Cities and towns grow all along its length.

Veils of Haifa, 1999 (canvas)

Parched for water half the year, yet it is green in spots and undeveloped still -- in spots.

The White Pine -- Upton Farmlands

It is tall; the tallest tree there. It marks a high point; it marks that point where the view of the estuary appears.

Acrylic on paper (30" x 22")

It marks the wind blowing in an ever changing world of seasonal weather and land ownership -- it stands as a beacon against all the odds.

Living on a Mountain

Once I lived on a mountain. It always gave choices.

Paper Collage 2014 (6" x 4")

Do I go up or down? Everyday.

Terraced Landscape (Sifnos, Greece)

Terraced for planting, for natural fall-out of rain on rock; it undulates in the heat of the day.

Acrylic on paper (15" x 22.5")

I think of Sifnos, that island in the sun -- is there anything else but sunshine on this brilliantly lit, brilliantly coloured island.

Profound Occasions

Thinking deep thoughts,

with commercial breaks.

A small derivative in honour of the wonders of ancient Greece.
