This painting carries with it a rich and somewhat tangled history, one marked by its persistent state of incompletion. When I started it, I'm not sure entirely. I pull it out to work on between shows or when I’m waiting for that next spark of inspiration. This year I decided it was time. Time to finish.

In the warmth of this particular day, deep into the undergrowth and pine canopy, a sea of hatchling ladybugs filled the air. Layer upon layer of green pine needles and wild sage, backlit with August sunlight, made the perfect idyll. The meandering, flitting bodies of a million ladybugs added magic to a fairy-tale walk in the pines.

Our water source has three man made reservoirs built to sustain both human population and agriculture. The South side of Cachuma Lake hosts a recreational park where there is both camping and hiking. The North side is privately owned with few human inhabitants. The animals roam freely in their habitat with little concern for those of us floating on the lake admiring them. These are the local mule deer enjoying the shade of the fall reeds.

Campus Tide 04 is not representative of the dull colorless mornings experienced in late spring on the central coast, but is a scene infused with the vibrant hues I experienced on my first visit to the Big Island of Hawaii.

Everything is full volume in the tropical climate, the smells, the warmth of the air and the shock of colors knocking you down as you step off the plane into the glow of island life. I brought that heat and warmth home with me one winter and painted our local coastline with hints of the island still beaming through my memory.
