i am amazed by his mastery of depicting light.
from his blog:
'Topophilia is a word I discovered in Gaston Bachelard’s book, “The Poetics of Space.” Although it is not included in most dictionaries, literally translated it means “ a love of place.” '
and 'We bring our lairs with us.'

visits today, then a 6 hour drive. stopped at a hotel in wisconsin for some sleep. looking at images online for my studio time today. also sketched a bit on the seahorse. hoping to make it home tomorrow.
