The Escape

Oil on canvas, 13″x21″ wide.

Artist Commentary: I spent Saturday night north of the Great River. I camped the cliffs over-towering the river mouth and the crystalline palace by the sea. Near midnight, I awoke to a spectacle of silver: the full moon sailed the celestial veil, while tides of fog arose from eastern seas. I set up my easel, but soon saw, rising from the silence of the castle, an enormous owl. It swept silently past my outpost, and on its back I descried a young girl with cloak billowing in the chill night air; the fleet companions swiftly vanished into the murk of the inland woods.

“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.
