Juction
Junction, 6x6, glazed acrylic, $95.00
Junction: A place of meeting or joining. Once, all was forest, then came the colonizers, who took down much of the forest. Pockets remain, and as it is the will of nature to grow and also to colonize, the junctions where field and forest meet are the site of a subtle battle.
Stalking the Marsh
Stalking the Marsh, 4x4, glazed acrylic, $60.00
The coastal salt marsh of the South Carolina Low Country, is the birth place of much of the ocean's life. It's also home to many who feed on the creatures that are born, and live there. The magnificent herons, and their kin, are a constant presence-stalking the marsh.
Kettle Valley
Kettle Valley 12x16, glazed acrylic, $240.00
We walk with our extra large pup, along the Kettle Creek almost daily, unless there's a monsoon and the valley becomes a lake. This is the view from the crest of the hill, just before the trail head. It's our happy place.

16x16, CDN $295.00 buy now
Old Vic (Old Victoria Rd S) is one of those forgotten rural roads, mostly used by farm equipment. Home to falling down barns, homesteads and gently rolling landscapes, the patterns of the land speak to me of things past. GPS 42°53'35.0"N 81°07'40.6"W

I drive past this vista regularly, there’s a rutted farm track that goes through the fields and the land tells tales of retreating glacial flood waters, followed by forests then farms. These fields are zoned industrial use, one by one they’re disappearing under concrete and asphalt.

Some times the fields seem to go on as far as the eye can see, an illusion of straight fence lines, and undulating land.
Through The Dunes
Where we go for our annual 'snowbird' the dunes are shaped by wind and water, every year they're different, and in hurricane years...much is lost to the angry sea.

I'm fascinated by the spaces between. Little bits of wild, left behind by the plough, too rough or inconvenient for the ploughman, but loved by the wildlings.

This driftwood, greeted us each year on Hunting Island beach, until Hurricanes Mathew, and Rita devastated the island, washing away much of the beach and most of the 'boneyard' trees.
I'm very glad that I sketched and subsequently painted it, before it disappeared.

Hamilton Rd Pump House
Hamilton Rd Pump House, glazed acrylic, on cradled wooden panel, ready to hang,
12x16, CDN $240.00
A remnant of rural life, surrounded by developing subdivisions, safe only until it becomes worth the work of flattening the rolling landscape. I record it while I can.
Don's Dang Hill

12x12, CDN $210.00
Recorded on a hot summer day, Don's hill, was an anomaly, a steep drop into what may have once been the bed of a rushing glacial river, long gone, and now permanently erased to make way for a "better" road.
