About this artwork
This painting combines multiple views from place sacred to me, while walking in the Winter near my studio. The title comes from an essay by Henry David Thoreau, in which a describes a one day wander in the winter landscape. In this group of paintings I will often use multiple horizon lines, inspired or in common with Asian scroll paintings that long inspired me. Because I studied (banded) hawks on the Pacific Coast of the U.S. for many years to study…
their migration, I began a series of painting where the horizon was canted, as if I were a soaring hawk, a vision that had begun to appear in my dreams.

« For me, painting is a process of searching, revelation, and redemption. It is physical, improvisatory, and illuminating. The act is the discovery. In making art, I am alive. »
