I remember what it was like to walk from my studio to the house at dinner. It would often be just about the time the sun was going down and a certain light was going across the top of the grass. That was like “here’s the moment.” 

So, I guess I learned to think about the landscape as being a message bearer. It gave me information about forces greater than I am. That I was fortunate to be a participant in these forces, to observe them, to be an activator. I think in a sense my painting is simply about that. I’m an activator and a carrier of these forces that have been going on all around me. 

I should learn it doesn’t mean that because I’m no longer there, they’re not doing that.
