Oil painting on canvas "Blue Adirondack" 18x24 2004 NSF

 
 
From rocking chairs, extending in adirondack chairs seemed a natural addition.  I spent many years at the New Jersey shore and adirondack chairs recall the sense of that place and time.  They are welcoming and safe, a place to curl up to read a book or watch the changing light of the day--a retreat from the world.  Solitude and distance from others--a protective posture--run through me when I paint them.
 
All my chairs remain empty to reinforce the sense of isolation but also to allow each viewer to develop his or her own story.
