A piece that was quite a while in the making, overdue to be posted.  It was asked that it reflect the specialties of Hunterdon County through dragonflies, hot air balloons, fireworks, owls, and a riverbank of course.

The Riverbank, started 2013

So excited by the iridescent medium Windsor & Newton has put out! 

This was a "thank you" for the very generous gift of a piano I received from the beau's family, hence the music notes.  His mother is a Philosophy professor, so I knew I had to come up with a wonderfully conceptual name such as "concinnity," which is the idea of harmonious arrangements of parts within a whole.  The relevance of the young boy fishing is that Kevin is an avid fisherman, as was his father.

This is the first substantial piece I've done that has deviated from "The Redhead and the Sea" series, and I suppose it wasn't by accident that it wound up being a colorful, loose depiction of Arabian horses. When I was a kid, I wrote a poem in which I described horses as "the physical manifestation of freedom," and I suppose it represents how I feel most days, as I continue to move away from my self-destructive vices.
