In today’s post, “this”
painting translates to “these” paintings, three paintings that clearly
demonstrate my fondness for light and dark.
It was over 20 years ago
that I first became truly aware of the drama of brilliant sunlight against a
dark stormy sky; I was driving into a dark sky while the sun shone brightly
behind me, lighting up the dirty white bark a bald plain tree and transforming
it into a brilliant sculpture. As
soon as I saw that phenomenon I knew I had to incorporate it into my art, which
I did, and continue to do, with some variation, all these years later.

experience of this show of nature occurred on my drive back from Texas, For
most of the 12 hours I was following a storm moving east and staying far enough
ahead of me to keep me dry, but still see the light as it fell on the autumn foliage. The result was this painting:
