INCURSIONS​

These landscape paintings are derived from locations in Maine, Quebec and Newfoundland.  Placed into idyllic scenes, insects emerge in unlikely poses.  They are actors in small dramas - floating, falling, erupting, journeying.  Painted from specimens in my studio, the insects are dead and tattered,  only  husks remaining.  Their incursions into settings of ideal beauty and calm creates a strange element of disquiet. In the compression of this work there is an intimacy and intensity of feeling.  I also have a renewed interest in the craft of painting and in the sensual pleasure of seeing a painting that is a beautiful object.  The meditative process of observing and rendering these subjects so carefully becomes part of the content of the work.
