Sketches of the Land
Every year I head out with my camera and paint-box in hand to document and make small painting/sketches. This folder contains some of the results of these forays into the outdoors. I find the making of these small works to be very relaxing, almost meditative. It is a way to connect intimately and spiritually with my surroundings - a way to find my place on the planet.
