Night Paddle
The first hour after the sun goes down is magical. It’s my favorite time to be on the water. The air is calm, the water is smooth. I’m usually observing my students’ navigational skills and making bets with my co-instructor about how late we’ll get to base camp. And while I’m looking forward to a shower and sleeping in my own bed again, I wouldn’t trade these moments for anything. I want to always believe in magic.
Water and Light
Well, I have not been spending as much time in the studio this month. I’ve been outside playing with my friends…
I have spent a lot of my time over the past two years looking at and being intrigued by light. I am always amazed at the many different forms it takes when filtering through the trees in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina. It reflects a million different ways off the water in the Everglades of Florida. Whether I’m in a canoe, kayak, or sailboat, I am always surrounded by the beauty of light.
When I started my time here I was not sure what I wanted to paint, just that I had the desire to paint something. Looking back over everything I’ve done so far I feel like I can finally see where I’m headed.
