June

In New England, the connection between months and seasons can often be blurry.  I grew up considering June to be summer – but a prolonged post-winter “mud season” can often put June right at the peak of spring, with the lush bright greens of newly leaved trees invigorating the season – and all of us who long for this time every year!

My painting “June” is about this feeling of a rush of new life.  I wanted to use the greens that are specific to this time of year while also capturing the energy that in this image comes through the motion of the swollen stream and the intricate blending, bending and morphing of the reflections.

“June” is a celebration of the season, but it is also about reverence of the details of the world around us.

Enjoy!
