Working title for my current big project is the Girl on the Ridge. It’s a triptych, with three separate 16″x 20″ canvases expressing a love of the forest. She starts with meditation, then watches and listens to the awakenings on the forest floor beneath the cool morning mist. And finally, she dances with joy in the sunshine high on the ridge. Oh, and my beautiful model is my daughter Jessie.

A smaller canvas
These little canvases have been getting me through long days of winter. I paint each 6″x 8″ stretched canvas all around the deep, gallery profile sides, resulting in an actual painted surface of 9″x 11.” I am working on three categories: A Wilder Nature, Garden Vignettes and Flora.
