“The Wanderer

Oil on canvas, 13″x21″ wide.

Artist Commentary: The years weighed heavy on the old man as he moved through the dunes. The sun was setting at last in these extreme northern climes, and now the day’s heat would begin to dwindle. Both first and second moons were visible just above the distant horizon, partially obscured by dust devils that heralded the coming of a storm. They, too, would set soon, although their light would be blotted out by the storm long before then. The robed figure hoped to have reached the safety of the rocks before the storm overtook him, but in the meantime, he would light his path by the glow of the crystal atop his staff.

“Marshwiggle”
Oil on canvas, 13″x21″ wide.

Artist Commentary: I spent Saturday in the tidal marshes, south of the river. I rafted along the waterways in late afternoon under an immense sky, and anchored in a peaceful spot near a lone wigwam. Setting up my easel, I painted the pocked purple clouds that peppered the heavens. Then, just before sunset, a Marsh-dweller emerged from the wigwam to angle for eels. Violet skies blended with cadmium reds, and the muddy greens of spartina and needlerush faded as the sun touched the distant horizon. Clapper rails rang out, and the peace of eventide crept upon all of the wetland prairies.
