The birds of the Amazon are ubiquitous.‍

A Matisse favorite blown up to giant size.

The sky above and the sea below filled with life.

Three stalwart trees guarding the point.

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

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.

Painted after a major surgery reaffirming my love for the beach and ocean swimming.

One of a series of paintings of the ever-shifting dunes in the Moroccan Sahara.

A special moment if you are lucky enough to witness.

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

Where you will go after living a good life.

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

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

Storm moving out to sea.

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

The ultimate charm of the American Midwest landscapes.

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

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

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

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

All bark and no bite…um, maybe not.

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.

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

Spring runoff and seven lace-like waterfalls.

On the horizon is the flat and wide bay.

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

The power of big nature based on elements of the South Pacific.

Visiting the Amazon region in Peru makes you think all kinds of new thoughts.

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

Full blooded intensity of big nature sky and water.

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

Everything is changing, the light, the mood.

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

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.

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.

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

I know there is one in there somewhere.

I am always impressed by a stand of trees. All part of the same family no doubt. Fascinating.

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

Felt like it painted itself on its’ own.

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

Wish I could…

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

A golf course on the moon???

Irish coast inspiration.
