A Melville Moment

'A Melville Moment', original 11 x 14 in. acrylic on gallery-wrap canvas, unframed.

"If I go too long without a walk in the woods, I get rather out of sorts. A recent walk brought me to this view. I'm drawn to water and each time I paint it, I reflect on Herman Melville's meditation on water in his opening chapter of Moby Dick: "meditation and water are wedded forever."
