autumn, burning brush, Little Washington

It has been a year of great movement.  And as usual my work in the studio tends to reflect what I am feeling emotionally towards my small world and the greater world beyond it.

I have been working with the City Series for over 4 years now, especially the museum scenes, and I am still drawn to its theme of finding solace and refuge in a world gone mad.

But I have also been thinking of other peripheral themes, including seasons of change and life cycles.

I have no idea where any of this is going yet.  And I tend to be a bit distracted when going through these thought patterns with my art.  But the thinking never stops.

This was an image I discovered in the mountains on a morning’s drive near Little Washington in Virginia, right after we first moved.  I’ve been thinking of these new images ever since, and how much they connect with images I have seen in England. Finally “Autumn Burn” popped out on canvas.
