Morning Windows
Charleston, South Carolina
|
I started
painting windows many years ago. I was drawn to them whether they were
broken, ancient, plain, or decorated.

Blue Shutters - Casa Feliz
Winter Park, Florida

I thought
they would make ready subject matter. Think about it -- windows are
pretty much every where.

They have a life of their own
depending on the weather and time of day.
I found I
preferred the older ones, the ones with more character, who had seen and
experienced more in their lives.

I fell in love with cities and towns just by what kind of windows I found
wandering when I was wandering the streets -- Charleston, Savannah,
and of course the jewel box of
Paris

Paris Window - Paris, France

Sometimes a window can look out and speak
volumes of the person who has lived in that house -- like this one in the
kitchen of the Olson home in Cushing, Maine -- where Christina of the famous
Wyeth painting, "Christina's World" spent her life.

Windows have become a
symbol of memories and travels to me, ambassadors of the city where they dwell. I never cease to wonder about what is behind all those windows. In many ways, they are like people, not so different in look, silence and solitude.
