'A landscape masterfully executed elicits emotional interpretations and resonates with the observer. Composition and the use of light often distinguish one painting from another. The greater the depth, treatment of light and movement in a painting, the better it often is. If you do not find a figure or portrait painting you are looking for, please call or email, we may not have cataloged it yet." |

This idea started as one of my standard “vines-on-signs” pictures, but a sudden family crisis gave the subject new, more serious layers of meaning. Things came out all right in the end, but not all stories are meant for sharing.

This painting serves as an apology to my spouse and to the neighbors, who this year have had to live with the ragtag mix of flowers I planted along the street side of our house.
