When I took this image at Katerskill Creek, I was very aware that I was just downstream from Katerskill Falls, famously painted by Thomas Cole. As light broke through the rain clouds, perhaps I was seeing this ravine as he once did. Katerskill Creek is a limited edition print of 10 and is printed on Arches Aquarelle Rag. Image size is 14”x18” with a 1” white border

On a whim I bought a bouquet of these strange looking green balls knowing nothing about them.  Several days later when seeds exploded all over my dining room table I realized it was a member of the milkweed family.  Gomphocarpus physocarpus is originally from Africa and now grows in warmer parts of the US.  Its common name is “bishop’s balls.”    The airy depth in Milkweed I is created from multiple photographs combined in a painterly process that honors the Dutch Milkweed 1 imasters who taught us so much about light.

The composition and design are reminiscent of botanical illustrations that show the many stages of a plant’s life cycle.

Peonies are the fulfillment of winter dreams.
Dancing in the warmth of summer breezes they fall gently back to earth
To become the color of hope.
