Meadows and grasses are still informing much of what I paint. Getting out of the city has reopened my eyes to light fragments, flickering insects, breezes, heavy seedpods. North Carolina's lush growth and rapidly changing weather stops me in the moment.
In the studio, I reconnect with that moment, not with photos, but with feeling, with memory. Working quickly, I seek that moment of fresh dew on wildflowers, grasshopper just gone, sun drying ground fog. I am loving the feeling of freshness while seeing the complexity of natural growth and light in layers and shadows, playing against each other.
