About this artwork
Hibernation marks a pivotal moment of discovery in my transition from a professional career to a full-time life of painting. Created during a period of intense experimentation with acrylic mediums, this work is an evolution of my "Majestic" series, born from a desire to push the boundaries of scale and structure.
Breaking from traditional formats, I bolted four 36 x 24-inch canvases together to create a singular 48 x 72-inch scene. This unconventional… quadriptych approach, held by special hardware, provides a unique architectural depth to the cool winter landscape. Using both brushes and knives, I grounded the birch trees in a naturally occurring perspective within the bottom third—an unplanned result of organic growth on the canvas.
A single maple leaf rests in the bottom right, a touch of warmth in the frost. This piece captures the raw, uninhibited energy of finding a new "job" in retirement and the discovery that talent, when given space, naturally finds its form.

I paint what I feel. After a life in finance, the palette knife became my primary way of speaking, plainly, without ornament. My subject is land, sea, and sky, held less as record than as memory of standing inside them.
I work in oils, building surface until it holds weight, something to be touched as much as seen, according to those who collect my work. Whether the canvas is small enough to hold in one hand or large enough to walk into, the intention doesn't change: a place that is as much interior as it is geographical.
In my mid-70s, I look for Self in the work, a thing being entirely itself, answerable to no one. The work says what I couldn't otherwise say. What you find in it is yours.
