Plein air painting with my trusty all-terrain buggy.

That's life.

Summer

reflections dance,
warm water's silent embrace,
symphonic ripples.

2011 Exhibition Flyer, la vie est belle.

Looking over clouds,
Blossom shivers in the breeze.
Sun rose, red, yellow.

Spring in the Beaujolais

Drizzling silver drops,
Green shoots from the chestnut buds,
Four hens scour the grass.

Spring in the Beaujolais

The almond blossom is just floating down,
the peach orchard's almost into flower,
the magnolias are magnificent.
The sunshine is warm and the wine is cool.

Edouard Manet

"They've never stopped telling me I'm inconsistent: they couldn't have said anything more flattering. It has always been my ambition not to remain consistent, not to repeat tomorrow what I did yesterday, but to respond constantly to a fresh vision and seek to make a new voice heard."

Charles Rennie Mackintosh

"There is hope in honest error, none in the icy perfections of the mere stylist"
