“ Most everyone, I'm sure, has enjoyed the childhood fantasy of being a tiny creature
who has Lilliputian adventures in a world where ordinary things have become gigantic.
Often I relive these fantasies when I'm painting a small complex piece of nature like
this old meadow, now overgrown with goldenrod and everlasting. In working to
convey the idea of air and space and depth around all these plants, I imagined
that I was a field mouse running in and out through them or an insect buzzing
around them. Although it is on a small scale, this is still a landscape and is
based as much on rhythmic patterns and impressionist and cubist
techniques as on meticulous detail.”
