      I  may at some point in my on the water experiences include those concepts in my vocabulary, however, somehow my sporting initiatives most often develop an adventurous  risky component to them.

      Every angler is only one foolish misstep away from escalating a serene moment into a potentially life threatening experience. 

      Most of my paintings are created that concept in mind. There is always something more going on than what immediately appears to the eye.

      I 've been caught  on the stream in the middle of a Pennsylvania tornado with a stand of hemlocks being exploded twenty yards across the water from me. I've had my boat nearly swamped by the combination  of standing rip current waves and the wake of a passing submarine while Striper fishing in the "Race" off of New London. I've been lost in cedar swamps while attempting to take a "short cut". I've been challenged by moose, bears, beavers, rattlesnakes, cows, dogs, crazy land owners and fished with wolves howling in the background, swamped canoes in ice water rapids, stepped off of underwater ledges and on and on.  

      As outdoorsmen and women we have our own unique fishing comedies, dramas and serene introspective experiences, tall tales and outright lies.

       Those are things and "stuff " of which I paint .
