Pencil drawing, 11×13.75” (27.9×34.9 cm). / It started out as a simple sketch and yet it lacked something. The white of the paper and the roughness of the pencil didn’t seem to agree. So, I put it away for a while. Many days after, like a simple prayer it came out – a candle in the darkness, a beacon by the sea. I pressed hard with the pencil and covered her all around, then, it made sense to me – darkness and light finally agreed. This was drawn on regular sketch paper.
Taken at Letchworth State Park which is a state park, about an hour and a half south of Rochester near Mt Morris NY. It is an absurdly gorgeous park featuring several massive waterfalls spread over 14,350-acres and 70 miles of hiking trails. It is part of the Genesee Gorge, also known as the Grand Canyon of the East. The well maintained grounds echo the passion for preservation of the depression era Civilian Conservation Corps who are largely responsible for shaping the park’s appearance as it still stands today. The park is located roughly 1 hour south of the city.

When the winds are quiet and the dust has settled, spring is a beautiful time of year in New Mexico. “Quietude” is the fourth painting of my “Seasons” series of small paintings. It is painted on standard depth stretched canvas with the edges painted black.

Luminosa quietud de las cosas presentes. / Silenciosa advertencia de las cosas lejanas: / el dolor que renace junto al dolor que muere: / sombra y lumbre que llegan por la misma ventana. Pablo Neruda

When I was going through a rather stressful time in my life, I would often seek refuge in nature. Gardens particularly had a calming influence on me and my worries and fears would slowly leave me as I soaked up the healing vibrations surrounding me. I could escape into my mother-in-law’s garden with my camera attached to me like a body part and drown in nature’s loving caress. Paradoxically, it was often my mother-in-law who caused me the greatest stress at times. I’d have to say that creative outlets and nature were my saviors, and still are. I am grateful to them both. When the original photograph (the peony) stands alone by itself, it has a heavenly feel about it. I needed to add the woman to show how she is being affected by seeing the flower. I enjoy putting lots of flowing lines into my pieces to depict the energy that flows from us into the universe and back again to our being. The woman is in a meditative state of contemplation, letting the peace and quietude resonate through her and touch her to her core. Yet, she has a wildness about her that depicts how freeing she felt as her heart was let loose. The poem is added here to further express how I feel. I am thankful for creative expression, for to verbalize my inner self is sometimes difficult.
