Bluebirds, oil on canvas 48inX48in For my 50th birthday, my friend and mentor, artist Daniel Maffia, gave me a small watercolor of a bluebird: a symbol of hope, love, and renewal. His token inspired my latest series of paintings, which incorporate rosa rugosa and the ocean–images that both Daniel and I have come to love from living on Cape Cod–and serve as an homage to a 40-year friendship that we have shared.
Magic Realism: “a term sometimes applied to the work of painters who by means of an exact technique try to make plausible their improbable, dreamlike or fantastic visions”
Alfred H. Barr, Jr., 1942
