Slow observation and meditative engagement are part of my experience when I go for walks.  There is so much to see and so much to learn from as Nature takes us through the seasons.  We collect a photo from our observations but often they often never tell the whole story or depict the entire sense of space from the experience.  In these pieces, I am trying to pull many elements together and illicit a narrative of being at that place or emotion of that moment.  Through the act of painting, we revisit that moment and reevaluate its importance.
