Colorful abstracted views of hedgerows, windbreaks, footpaths and fields dominate as objects in my work. These are places where the hand of man holds the hand of nature lightly, accenting the best of both nature and man. Cornfields lay out a grid work that graphically reveals the shape and contour of the land. Plowed fields shape the underlying truth of waves of hills and trough. At first, chaos seems to reign in a tangle of vine, shrub and tree that with painting are found to have an underlying rhythm, an undulation of waveforms with its neighbors and the environment in general. Underneath it all there is a mathematical beauty, a juxtaposition of waveforms that construct the Bucks County I paint. My paintings contain four or more frequencies that taken together form a vibrating wholeness that delights the eye. One or two frequencies occupy each of three or four planes. An overcast sky establishes a low frequency with perhaps one or two undulations. Another plane of the middle ground is composed of a slightly higher frequency of undulating hills while cornstalks vibrate at a higher frequency still. A pattern of interrelated overlapping frequencies come together to form the harmonics of Bucks County landscape. Hedgerows, windbreaks, footpaths and fields dominate as objects in my work, frequency and pattern are the subjects. My landscapes are done with watercolor and often water soluble pastel.
