This lake has a face with many views. Each one home. A dream familiar. Family-worn and wild. Always in possession of my most essential life force. An endless inspiration. Summer welcomes it back, black flies and all.

Spring is coming so slowly this year. At least that’s how it feels. Making green happen in the studio is enough for now.

These two gems were painted by my very talented son @slush_puppy_roadkill_artz who has recently shown a particular knack for oil painting. With mentors @popoffkelly and @simmsjen he has developed a steady creative practice @gccartdepartment I don’t usually post other people’s work to this IG but this was one exception, as I am particularly proud of and impressed by this work by my one and only dearly loved son. For other curatorial posts please visit @arkitekcherel Thank you Kelly, Jen and GCC for all your encouragement, inspiration, and support. I love you Luke. Keep up the good work!! 💥🎨👨‍🎨❣️

Blue Mt Blues. One of the things I love about #bluemtlakeny is that it can get kind of gloomy and sad. It’s precisely that heaviness in the atmosphere that weighs deep in my bones. A beauty that holds grief and awe in the same place; that sinks as low as the dark bottom of the lake and climbs higher than the fire tower on top of the mountain.

Immourning Hue: a holy-haze.
I’ve been wallowing through Finnegans Wake this summer (by James Joyce). A nonsensical dream of words that swim underneath what’s understood. An unknowing that sets a stage for knowing something else. Immourning Hue = grief+ hope+ summer light in the early heat of a long lazy day on a lake. 💤⏺️🔵🏳️

New work. If you know the #acrylagouache color olive, you know how strange and difficult this color is to photograph. But I am in love with its greenish-orange glow. It always dries much lighter than expected, as it did here. Which I actually like.

When you add your own sunshine to a gloomy but glorious hike up #castlerock I had so much fun making this one. It was a real journey with lots of strange and beautiful passages to get lost in. Jumping up in scale was a delightful challenge.
