Traveling Series

The process of painting brings recollection; often I am carried back to another time and looking at it again. When traveling, you glimpse other places out the window; sometimes a lighted barn window slips by at night; or you stare at a new kind of territory for many miles; your eye catches the landscape’s composition and its colors. You can dream into other towns and lives…. Could be folks you are passing; could be the lives you might yet live (or might have lived). These glimpses stay with me and reappear in my mind while I am applying paint to the canvas. I find myself creating a landscape that hearkens back and hearkens forward. And of course we are all travelling through years as well as places.
