Through the silence
breaks the thunder
rolling on the mountains high
birds of whisper
clocks of chiming
summer's moving
winter's nigh
solo whistle in the trees
nothing's moving not a breeze
Silence calls out,"Listen to Me."

"FERNS PRESERVED" (OIL)
I would like to take the time to share with you my works in progress. This is hard for me, as I don't like to let people see unfinished works of mine. Unfortunately, as I have learned, I have never been really satisfied that ANY work of mine is ever finished...
I am growing though, and learning to accept my humanity. Just as we have been created by the Creator, we were created to create. This is my offering of thanks.
First of all, I will take you into my studio, which is down this hall, through the door,
past my painting of a clear blue New Hampshire sky at Canterbury Shaker Village.My studio as of right now is located over the sunroom in our home. In the corner of this picture are the ferns that inspired my above painting, " FERNS PRESERVED"... alas they are now dried and dead.
When I paint, I sit in front of a north facing skylight and face two south facing skylights.
One skylight facing the mountain is pictured here. As you can see, we're losing our views. The other picture is of the sunroom from the spiral staircase.
I'm trying something new. Instead of concentrating on one painting at a time, I am doing several at once. Below are some of my works in progress:
"BE STILL, #1" (OIL)
"BE STILL, 2" (OIL)
"BURKEHAVEN" (OIL) 
"SNAPSHOTS OF FLOWERS THROUGH WOODSTOCK, VT" (ACRYLIC)
