My abstract paintings are sky paintings. They are meditations. Some major influences in my work are my photography, the sky, house painting and the work of abstract painter Carl Bates who I met at my Pinch of Rock cabin in Sharon, Conn. in 1971. Carl moved to The Prickly Mountain artistic community in East Warren, Vermont in 1974 and I later followed. I spent many hours at Carl’s studio (next to the community pond) watching him paint and photographing him. My one room cabin was located in the adjoining meadow with a 180° view of the crest line of the Green Mountains and this is where I began painting on canvas in 1980.
