Morning Meditations in November
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.

Sailing - a series
Previous posts have commented: we are blown away on water the colour of warm places, feeling the undertow, the pull of the tides lifting us out to sea.

Persevering, we sail in rough seas, control is tenuous at best. The
wind blows through our courage and we attempt a hopeful landing.

A safe and hopeful landing on the shores of generosity.

It is always time to set sail again; to sail to the land of two moons on leeward winds.

The Northern Lights
The aurora borealis - bright and dancing.

Once mysterious, now scientifically explained, yet despite explanations mystery abounds and awe inspires.

Circles
Consider the circle; so simple yet so complex especially geometrically speaking. There is the circumference and the radius, the arc and the disc, the diameter and the centre -- no doubt other bits that I have missed.

Perfectly round with its ends meeting; we sit in them and study in them -- so many circles.

Flourishing (fl. 21st Century)
Growing well, being successful are all part of thriving and prospering. Does this equal flourishing?
Blooming, blossoming, burgeoning -- certainly quantity plays its part.

Always in a state of activity or production -- industrious. There must be an equation with variables galore somehow seeking and achieving balance. But then, I never was very good in math.

The Katanga Sunbird
The mythical bird of the Katanga savanna - a cousin to the Bird of Paradise which is not actually a bird at all. How absurd.

The Katanga Sunbird is rumoured to enjoy rushes in the marshland of the artificial lake. Very inky!
