Pine Disease makes for interest paintings
Published on
The White Pine trees of Maine, and other states, are dying from a disease. Needle blight pathogens have been a primary issue affecting white pine since approximately 2010.While this is unfortunate for many woodland creatures and insects it offers me a visually exciting palette. The edge of pine forest that border many Maine roads become a hedge of broken pine limbs, physically impenetrable and visually mesmerizing , that I find compelling. So, the summer of 2017 features many painting of a thicket of dying pines.

I love everything about painting. I love feeling the paint, seeing a rich color spread under my brush onto a surface, and the play between colors coming together. I love watching my idea take form until a painting finally says “it” and I am surprised and delighted every time. I love sharing my art and knowing that someone is moved by it.
