Besides a few birds which seem to, increasingly, animate my drawings at the river and elsewhere, I try to capture the sleek and fleeting realities of furry creatures I see "down by the River Charles" and closer to home. They live enigmatic, urgent and beautiful lives. Please give them some space as you move through the world. They are, after all, family.

"The images in this book exist at the meeting of drawing and painting. Both are entwined in the depiction of natural objects and natural phenomena in space."

Overlooking the sidewalk on the way to the dam, a hawk has set up housekeeping in a pine tree. I've seen it repeatedly since early June.

Spring is coming and the ice is retreating (for the moment at least). In the early morning, the trees cast blue shadows on the white snow and ice.
