"Homer's Truth"
40x40, oil painting

Valued at $7300

"Winslow Homer believed that humanity, our natural environment, and our constructed history are inseparably linked and each dependent upon, and influencing - even driving - the other. I believe he was right... and that each of us - in these complicated times - carries a responsibility to ensure that circle remains in balance."

Painting has long been a way for me to indulge that exploration and I work hard to nurture the creative spirit in everything around me.

The text in the painting is from Edna St. Vincent Millay's poem "Afternoon on A Hill." It reads as follows:

With quiet eyes,
Watch the wind bow down the grass,
And the grass rise.
