Barter




These two paintings (both oil on canvas, 2' by 2') were made as a pair in 2004. They were inspired by Costa Rican rainforest. They have been close to my heart, as I still see the colors and subtleties of the rich vegetation high on the mountain slopes of Trogon. More importantly, I recall the feeling of that place--the cool humid air, the music of the numerous bird calls, the sounds of the stream... I could go on, but I paint; I am no wordsmith. So these paintings are meant to reflect the perfect harmony and balance of that forest, and they represent the memory of a moment when everything in the world seemed just right.
