The 10 Adirondack Calendar Series paintings are not the orderly, mathematic calendars of the mind, but calendars of the heart and spirit. These are calendars that might depict a sunny, hot day at the summit of a mountain but not the day’s name and date. And they are calendars that hint at the ferocity of a winter ice storm whether it falls in January or March. Dates and numbers and little square boxes try to creep into these calendars, but they have very little power here and remain secondary.
The Adirondack Calendar Series paintings are very subtle, very detailed painterly works that communicate the experience of a day spent in the elements. Pigments and powdered stone fragments are applied by brush, branch, leaf, water and rock. The strength of these works is in the minute surface detail.
Note: Zooming in on the photos with the Zoom feature allows the viewer to see the equisite surface detail of the paintings, as does viewing these smaller detail photos taken from the paintings.
