- In this luminous Night
Scene Painting, "Moonlit Tree and Haybales" an original
oil on panel, I was revisiting the virtues of simplicity in composition
with one tree, some haybales, and a field spanning a bit of distance
before a background of only a couple mountians or hills, if you
will, that step in to infinity. Not to forget the physical cosmos
where luminosity opens the heavens spangled with stars lead by
the full moon just slightly having a ring around it giving radial
shadows to the marching feel of the hay bales beside a tree in
a soft field of imaginary peace and nocturnal serinity.

- I am tempted to say
I've been trying to use simplicity more and more in the arrangment
of my paintings as the world seems to be getting more and more
complex. Yes finding Peace in a painting would be pleasing to
the spirit.
