The sun, the focus of all life on our planet.

We are all on our way somewhere. All things are on their way somewhere.

All bark and no bite…um, maybe not.

Trees in perfect synch with each other. Are they all related? They must be.

The beach, where it all begins and ends for me.

The birds of the Amazon are ubiquitous.‍

A landscape I never actually experienced in life came alive on this canvas. A deep sense of peace and serenity. All is right with the world here on Cherry Lane.

I think about the 4,000 mile solo hitchhiking trip I took in 1972 to West Coast and back.

Something powerful about the confluence of two great bodies of waters.

The warm morning glow of dawn in summer, a signal of a new day with fresh possibilities.

Hundreds of thousands of parakeets swarming at dawn preparing to cross the water into the rainforest for the day’s events.

Full blooded intensity of big nature sky and water.

American farmlands have been the bedrock of so many families with the same American dream.

I, along with a group of people, once witnessed a series of UFOs in the night sky over Lake Cayuga in Ithaca, NY. We had many questions, but very few answers.

On the horizon is the flat and wide bay.

A Berber man composing his headwrap in the wind. A commission by a fellow traveler to the Sahara in Morocco.

In moviemaking parlance, “magic hour” is that alluring transition from afternoon to evening — twilight — when the world of our perceptions changes.

A special moment if you are lucky enough to witness.

I have no idea how this title came to be. But It is a soothing painting.

Like a giant and soft watercolor with a spiritual quality that changes with the ambient light.
