Winter Scenes
“Wintertime painting is perhaps when my soul has its strongest expression. In all other seasons we are caught by the surface beauty that could be an obstacle to understanding that which is invisible. Whereas in winter, one can see the inner bones of nature; its structure in the bare trees that allows us to see that which is beyond them – into infinity.
Winter awakens compassion as we meet with our own soul in that austere time of year and search for Truth, and search for the true meaning of our lives. The wind and cold penetrate our being to the point that our souls are stripped down to the essence of the present moment. A clear lucidity of life and wisdom emerges. Creating has to do with the soul. May my soul touch yours.”
