Poetry in Art

I hope that the emotional, aesthetic, and descriptive concepts I attempt to paint will inspire you to imagine, dream, wish, explore, discover, experience, value, enjoy, love, feel...... the peace, tranquility, or energy of rivers, lakes, oceans, the calm, serenity, or power of sunrises and sunsets, the energy and grandeur of aspen forests, the sublime beauty and poetry of flowers.....

ASPEN FIESTA
Acrylic on panel
24x48



These paintings are my tribute to the aspen groves in the Jemez Mountains. The rustling sound, as of a babbling brook, is produced by the friction of the leaves on one another.

Autumn, "with his gold hand gilding the falling leaf," spreads its badge of splendid decay over each leaf in succession and the tree gains a variety of color.

"A perfect calm; that not a breath
Is heard to quiver through the closing woods,
Or rustling turn the many-twinkling leaves
Of aspen tall." Thompson

Aspen forests are very important. They easily grow in a burned-out area. Aspen roots are very sturdy and don’t die even when there’s a fire. When the leaves fall in autumn it makes the soil very rich. It’s also good for other plants that grow there. Aspen trees provide food for many animals, especially the elk and deer.

THE SEA OF SUNSET
This is the land the sunset washes,
These are the banks of the Yellow Sea;
Where it rose, or whither it rushes,
These are the western mystery!  Emily Dickenson

TUSCAN DREAM
I fell in love with Tuscany, the birthplace of my maternal grandfather, when I visited Italy a few years ago. The countryside of that beautiful area is depicted here with a poppy field, cypress trees, and  village in the background.
