![I have come to understand my use of ‘meditative’ with respect to landscapes, as our underlying commitment to nature through painting, is all about light and water, neither of which can be painted directly. Treating light as pure source, the paintings are an expression /realization of its effects’ water being transparent, always different, lets us explore /express its infinite appearance through the very reflections that try to confine it. Water is a perfect source of abstraction, transparent; we paint the reflected sky above, the bottom revealed by passing clouds, the edges contained by forests all around all sides.](https://files.toaf.ca/uploads/2023/12/user_445_blue-sky-day-7-36x48_20231211175251.jpg)
