Bear Island Morning
Water Color
12 x 20"

In addition to coastal Georgia, the locale in the U.S. that exerts the greatest pull on me is the coast of Maine. Recent trips have led me to Great Spruce Head Island in Penobscot Bay, through a personal friendship with its owners, the family of the celebrated American artist Fairfield Porter and his photographer brother, Elliot. On a day trip to nearby Bear Island, the clear light of Maine rolled across the water like liquid mercury.
