About this artwork
Verdant Drift came from the same stretch of exploration — knives, black gesso, and interference colour that behaved like quiet signals in the dark. As I worked, the emeralds and soft blues began to drift across the surface, creating that slow, luminous movement I’ve always loved in these pieces.
The long panoramic format gives the feeling of catching a moment rather than staging one. These early minis pushed me to embrace immediacy, to let the paint… move with confidence and intuition. They still remind me why I return to small works: they hold an intimacy that larger pieces can’t replicate.
This and Emerald Nocturn are the final miniatures available from my 2017 black-ground collection. First-come, first-served.

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.
