Piece description from the artist
Made from many sketches of a garden in Somerset England designed by renowned landscape designer, Piet Oudolf, the painting includes images of stray dogs, a startled bird, the sound of water, spider webs, and the horn shape of a tiny mint flower. My landscape paintings are propelled by a number of things, including the love of paint and abstraction, but most importantly, by a desire to do my part to help make the changes in philosophy that are required if humanity is to create a sustainable future. By studying the land and responding to it freshly, I hope to demonstrate attachment, respect, and engagement. And if the paintings are good enough, they will find their way into public life to do their job of representing the joy of living in the world and the wonder of perceiving it, and if they succeed at this, to evoke the will to create balance within it.
