Jacarada

The first time I saw Jacaranda trees in bloom in Ajijic, Mexico, I was absolutely amazed and delighted. The sight was breathtaking and inspiring. So, purple trees do exist! And when they arrive, they conquer! Purple everywhere; in the sky and on the cobblestone streets, where their flowers would rain down.
I created this painting back when I was a regular snowbird, flying southbound to Mexico whenever the winters would settle in hard. I had this other life down there, that I’d reconnect with 4-6 months of the year. That charming corner of the world, known as Chapala lake, held within it an incredible community of friends and some of the dearest people I have met, who would warmly greet me back every winter. That time and place, to this day, resides in me as a very special gift from this life.
I remember thinking to myself that the birds really know a thing or two about survival. And so I would follow them and stay there, where it was warm, until the the trees turned purple, and then I’d stay on a bit longer.

Green Monster Beneath the Waterfall
12" X 9" , oil paint on canvas pad, 2014
• Reserved
This painting, Green Monster Beneath the Waterfall, brings me back to an evening in Switzerland, when travelling solo through the Alps, I laid my head to rest in a cave, beneath a waterfall.
I had seen it earlier that day when visiting a glacier, which turned out to be useful, as on returning to the nearby village I discovered that all the hostels were completely full. I told a young woman, whom I had met there in Gimmelwald, the solution I had in mind. It reassured me knowing someone would be aware of my whereabouts.
After an hour of trekking through the hills and ravines I arrived at the cave just before dark. I could hear animals, mainly mountain deers (I think) climbing above. I collected as many branches for a fire as I could, but it had been raining and much of it was damp. Nonetheless, I did manage to start a fire when I resorted to burning apart of a script I was carrying, for a play I was to audition for once returning to Montreal in the Fall.
At night the sound of the waterfall camouflaged the storm that roared above. I was unaware of it, but I did dream of wrestling with the Incredible Hulk (who later in the dream became a friend), so perhaps some part of me knew there was something big and scary happening nearby.
The arrival of the morning was sweet and refreshing, as I emerged from a deep sleep. That night in the cave beneath that waterfall, next to a glacier in beautiful Gimmelwald, Switzerland, where I met and danced with my green monster, is not lost on me.

Entradas
Doors began to first fascinate me when I was living in Italy and then later travelled to Mexico. Everywhere I went, I would come across beautiful weathered doors and walls, of all shapes and colours. The symbolism of a door holds so much. They speak of possibilities and secrets. I paint entrances for they represent the opportunity of unknown experiences. And of a beginning, as well as an end, from one space to another. Doors as motifs representing moments of transition, through space and through life.
