I set my easel overlooking one of the only east-west axis mountain ranges in this country. I rework each drawing, searching for specific light falling on the mountains that never repeats. I have drawn the Holyoke Mountains for 37 years and am still learning them. It is the search that gives the drawing its source of life. Everything in the drawing has equal importance; the tree is as important as the mountain behind it, the sky moving behind and foreground coming towards the viewer. Everything is democratically related, a conglomeration of spatial movements interrelated, needing each other to survive.
