An ethereal setting of three herons with subtle blue-gray plumage standing motionless as they scan their environs.  The heron is symbolic in many cultures of creation, light, purity, and strength.  As water creatures, herons often also represent fluidity and life.

This composition celebrates the Great Smoky Mountains with a rich palette of greens ranging from Emerald, Jade, Forest and Pine under an elusive skyscape. The name “Smoky” comes from the natural fog that often hangs over the range and presents as large smoke plumes from a distance.
By the time the first English explorers arrived in Southern Appalachia in the late 17th century, the Cherokee controlled much of the region, and the Great Smoky Mountains lay at the center of their territory. One Cherokee legend tells of a magical lake hidden deep within the range, but inaccessible to humans.

This early autumn, long and sweet highland landscape, perched against a quiet country road proclaims timeless tranquility and absence of mortal change.Verdant mid-day fields echoed by terracotta contours yield to a vast evergreen woodland and distant lilac hills.The viewer experiences the pure magnificence of nature's peace and a world without end in this serene landscape.

Hazy Fog

 

 

In this composition, feathery, ethereal and cheerful clouds with hints of emerald and lavender dance over cerulean blue seas. 
This instant captures peace and perfect harmony of skies and seas.

This tranquil landscape features a gently flowing river coursing against a peaceful shoreline while verdant distant hills rise and fall against baby blue sunlit skies.

In this still life, a strikingly simple floral arrangement competes for attention with the ostentatious flair of a vintage red and gold paisley highball cocktail glass that hearkens back to the style of Hollywood Regency and the Mad Men of Madison Avenue.

This composition features three hummingbirds energetically darting through space with playfully vibrant hints of blue, pink, green, and gold as they fulfill their busy mission.
Hummingbirds are known to symbolize eternity, continuity, and infinity as the fluttering wings of the hummingbird move in the pattern of an infinity symbol.
These extraordinary creatures constantly feed and visit up to 2,000 flowers per day with their long bills in search of sugary nectar. They are also migratory birds and can fly over 500 miles in a day. 
This work portrays hummingbird featured characteristics of movement, the search for nourishment and dashing colors.

The gallant colony of ibis depicted in this composition stand out against the shadows of their bronzen environment.  These frequent inhabitants of wetlands, forests and plains with their characteristic crescent moon profiles were renowned in ancient Egyptian, Greek and Roman cultures, most prominently in portrayals of the Egyptian deity Thoth:  the god of writing, magic and wisdom.

These abstracts evoke the mystery of ancient Aztec architectural forms and the contrasts between simple and elegant versus bold and powerful.
The Aztecan city of Tenochtitlan would become the world's largest city by the 16th century, and the seat of an expansive empire. Important features of the city included a the royal palace, a central plaza, temples, shrines, pyramids, courtyards, lush gardens, and even ball courts. While construction initiatives were limited to primitive tools and manual labor, their engineers had deployed precise mathematical techniques based on a "vigesimal" system, which is only now being understood by modern archaeologists.
