Chasing Ephemera_Cloud Meditations

Clouds are ephemeral yet real; quotidian and divine. They are fascinating; I love looking at them. My home faces east and when I wake in the morning, I look at the sky. Some of these paintings are memories from that daily ritual. Others are memory paintings from other times of intensively looking skyward. They come from the simplest phenomena, water vapor and dust, but evoke deep feelings and sensations.

They are done in a variety of painting materials. Oil on wood and canvas, watercolor and gouache on paper and wood. The oils are lush and painterly. The watercolors and gouache are light and airy. Many of these paintings are quiet and contemplative; peaceful, healing, and meditative. Something needed in this time. Others are dramatic and all are filled with movement. In total they cover a range of emotions.
