"1Nater Music" works are my response to the beauty of water over rocks, the varying movement and play of light on surfaces speak to me of musical compositions and connotations. Therefore, each painting bears a water name and a music name. [find the exploration o f water themes to be in f inite[y various and challenging (never the same river twice). Ref [active light, transparent or translucent passages, varying moods and rhythms a[[ provide challenges and expressive possibilities. Further, there is a wonder f u[ metaphor f or [i f e implicit in the journey o f a river. 1 can easily present iz to is f rained compositions of water, in various sizes. Perhaps more. For the remainder of the space, l would present a sampling of the other works for which 1 am known locally, paintings of Idaho and the West, up to z8 in a[[.
