A selection of paintings...

All but #1, April 2004 of these paintings were made in my Lac Ouaureau studio in the Laurentian Mountains of Quebec.  Winter was fading through thaw into very early spring, and the first buds were in one tree outside my studio window.  By the time of the last painting, #23, April 2004, the ice on the lake was nearly gone and I had to return to California.  A place does not shape a work, but it is the environment where work blossoms.
