These 2 pieces go together as a diptych. Each piece is 48 x 24. Reference for this diptych comes from a recent trip to the Audubon Swamp Garden at Magnolia Plantation, Charleston SC. The swamp there is beautifully and hauntingly surreal. I felt such a strong presence in the Garden and have thought much about the people that were enslaved there. It's overwhelming to think about what their lives were like, how they lived and died in this horrific time in history. I want the viewer to feel more than think about this abstracted Landscape. To acknowledge the darkness that was and that is, but to strive daily to see beauty around you and to remain hopeful for the future. Much of my art is named after music and this is no exception. The title 'Wade in the Water' is tip of the hat to Harriet Tubman and the use of this song in telling escaping slaves to get off the trail and into the water so their scent would be lost.

I spent early years bumbling about some pretty amazing landscapes. Simple summer gardens, pecan groves and running creeks in the Piedmont region of the Carolina's. As a child I adored spending time exploring & funny thing,... I'm getting back around to that mode of exploring. This year I find myself going back to familiar grounds. I've moved from South Carolina low-county's copious creeks & salt marshes to the familiar lush, rolling hills of the Piedmont area of the Carolina's. I will always be influenced and find beauty in the atmospheric conditions of most landscapes. But the exploration is what thrills me. So, it's time for another adventure and sharing what might be found. My main medium is oil because for me it works best to show light and atmosphere with the most tone and range. My usual approach to painting is generally characterized as Tonalism. If you're wondering what Tonalism is, you are not alone. Tonalism isn't as well known as Impressionism, Expressionism, Realism, Abstract or most any other defined art movement. Tonalism emphases color, line and shape without narrative as a way of communicating visual harmony and spirituality. I like to consider myself a lifetime learner and have attended workshops and studied with artists and art teachers I greatly admire. My favorite paint saints are Mark Rothko, Georgia O'Keeffe, John Henry Twachtman, Birge Harrison, Frits Thaulow, and George Inness. I use highest quality materials available. Like Steve Jobs said "Quality is more important than quantity. One home run is much better than two doubles."
