Coastal Forest Reflection
60 x 24 in 
Oil on canvas

I can’t get enough of painting the reflection of trees along the water’s edge. I love how they offer a door into a mystery – what lies beyond in the forest? Viewed from the water, what hides on the land behind the shore remains a secret. And the extended verticality of the mirrored image of the trees is such a strong design element – endless possibilities....



“Being on a boat that's moving through the water, it's so clear. 

Everything falls into place in terms of what's important and what's not.”
