Inspiration at Crocket Lake Preserve
2020 will likely go down in world history as one of the greatest challenges during our brief window of time on the planet.
As an artist privileged with living on Whidbey Island in the Puget Sound of Washington State, it did not take long for “social distancing” to evolve into “more time spent in Nature. “
Following the lead of my next-door neighbor, an avid wildlife photographer, I began visiting Crockett Lake, a marshy, at-first-glance unremarkable, body of water adjacent to the Coupeville-Port Townsend Ferry.
As the artistic process would have it, the more time spent among old pylons, bird houses, mossy mounds and billowing clouds, the more the unremarkable became remarkable. Inspiration took root, and ideas for paintings in my Crockett Lake Series bubbled to the surface.
I hope you enjoy the series as much as I enjoyed the process of bringing it to life.
