Autumnal Light

The end of summer is and there are still warm afternoon breezes flowing across the rolling hills. With pockets  of cooling air coming down from the distance deep cool blue mountains

Leaves fall from the trees slowly, crisply drying, to be subsumed into the earth and to protect and replenish the soil.

Artist biography or statement:
Working and exhibiting as an artist for over 35 years. My practice explores the psychological and physical aspects of life, an attempt to come to terms with the ephemerality of existence.
