When
you are painting plein air on site it is often best to have a smaller
canvas. They tend to be easier to protect from wind and weather, insects,
sand, spills, and other forms of mischance. Triplets and Dublets, batches
of two or three canvases contained in a frame, were selected for their
ability to more completely describe favorite landscape areas visited
on the extensive “Landscape Project” of 2000-2004. Birds,
flora, and fauna, as well as landscape, filled the scene as I traveled
from region to region following trusty National Geographic maps from
“The American Road,” which led me to the most beautiful
parts of our country. These multi-panel works are the result of those
experiences with the birdsong, plant life, and animals of that unique
place.
