"Darksome" a noun, a dark color or shade, esp. in a painting.

This piece was inspired my trip to the BWCA this fall. When canoeing, I get a thrill out of a crossing in waves and big water, but I really love hugging the shore and getting glimpses into the deep woods and wondering. The darkish mystery of the woods reflected in waters underneath my boat intensify my curiosity. Wonder is an emotion that precipitates much of my work.

This piece was well received at the the Art on Main show at Alesci Gallery this past Friday and in fact sold almost immediately. The new owners agreed to let me keep it through the exhibit which I really appreciated.
