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

Dusk in Austin, Texas produces those alluring high desert scapes, the dust amplifying the end of daylight.

Irish coast inspiration.

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

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

A Matisse favorite blown up to giant size.

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

On the horizon is the flat and wide bay.

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

A metaphysical moment in nature where no human can deny the serenity and beauty of nature.

Sometimes a painting is made and lives for many years and then the artist chooses to obliterate it and create something completely new and different…although there can be ideas from the previous painting that survive. This is true for this painting.

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.

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

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

I know there is one in there somewhere.

A special moment if you are lucky enough to witness.

The Amazon region is a place of life filled with all kinds of colorful critters.

Three stalwart trees guarding the point.

I guess they are friends of the shark, until they aren’t.

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

Off in the distance living their best tree life, undisturbed except for conditions which they are designed to endure. Such a great sense of peace.

The birds of the Amazon are ubiquitous.‍

A moment of stunning beauty, as the mighty Delaware River snake it’s way though rural Pennsylvania on it’s way to the Atlantic.

Everything is changing, the light, the mood.

All bark and no bite…um, maybe not.

Felt like it painted itself on its’ own.

From a deep place in the unconscious describing an untouched place of serenity in deep woods.

Contemplative and calming. Part of the “Sun Series" of paintings.

End of a long day, time to take stock of all the good things that happened.

The sky above and the sea below filled with life.

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