Wildflowers
 When
first I found myself spending summers with my two young
children in the Adirondacks, the lure of wildflowers
outside our door overtook me. By a number of years later,
I had produced more than 25 larger-than-life (some say
'bugs-eye-views') color pencil drawings of them. They
are gathered in the series I call An Adirondack
Acre.

Other Butterflies
 Before
my life cycle works, I enjoyed just painting adult butterflies.
The one that most captivated me was the Karner Blue.
This tiny beauty was first identified as a separate
species by Vladimir Nabokov (author of Lolita).
In a remarkable poem, he said that he wished for no
greater honor than to be godfather to an insect!

Moths
 You
can't tell the beauty of a moth by its size or appearance
to the naked eye. Thanks to digital photography and
imaging, we can now see how stunning 'little brown moths'
are. The gallery contains both photo- and painting-based
mixed media.

Critters
 At
first, the insects and amphibians that looked back at
me through my hand-lens, or flitted and buzzed overhead
as I drew, or called to me from the wetlands, were just
distractions. With time, they became a favorite subject.

Leaves
 To
me, trees are just our biggest flowering plants. After
9/11, stunned and scuffling through fallen leaves, it
struck me they were lying there beside the seeds, nuts,
acorns and cones that would someday regenerate their
species. The series of paintings that resulted is called
Renewal. I add a new leaf each Fall.

Landscapes
 Some
call them landscapes, for me they are habitats —
places where the plants and critters I have painted
separately all fit together. In recent years, my nine
foot, 10 lb. kevlar canoe has helped me open up more
and more of these vistas where plant and wildlife play
out their dramatic struggles for survival.

Creatures, Plants & Scenes
 Tired
by being surrounded and menaced at Nature Art shows
by lions and tigers and bears, I decided one day to
fight back. I created and featured a couple of carnivorous
(flesh eating) plant paintings. The following year,
the show's promotional bulletin made special note of
my 'uncultivated pants.'
