'October Sun - Swan Lake'

 

The October sun's warmth feels like a stranger
This short respite from the rain and wind
Sharing this lull with the Towhee's and Jay's
Their warning calls as the Cooper's
Glides low over our heads
Hunting with all the avian activity below it
I make a new memory with each blink
Breathing it in along with the scent of
Damp leaves and dead grass and the warmth...

'December Afternoon'

Water conservation is often more about conserving wetlands

and forests than anything else. Water usage and waste

is of course very important but our destruction of forests

and wetlands lead to the degradation and collapse of

entire watersheds, the very life blood of us all.

The scene in the above painting is

of a natural peat bog which holds a small lake and is

surrounded by an important wetland which is again

surrounded by urban development. Large quantities

of surface runoff is contained and purified by this bog.

As well it is an important wildlife area and a

magnet to birds and artist =;-))

Oil on canvas 24 x 30.
