The Jade Garden at

The large Jade in the center is 32 years old and about 3 feet tall and wide. It was a cutting given to me by my friend friend Ramon Martinez. I’ve had a lot of fun pruning it and propagating dozens of jades from the cuttings including the smaller ones seen here.
Notice the sapling on the far right. It has three trunks and is vigorously growing into a sturdy specimen at only two or three years old.

In 1986-87 I made the decision that I couldn’t only rely on photos and memory in the studio to paint landscapes, I needed more information to capture my visceral experience of being there, particularly my sense of color and light.
After reading a short biography of Vincent Van Gogh and his journey as a painter, I decided I needed to paint on site.
This painting of our garden, deemed a failure along with multiple others, was thrown into a corner of my little studio on the second floor of my home on Linden Street. That following winter I was rummaging through the clutter and “cleaning house” when I came across it and to my surprise, I saw some merit in what was there. It’s the first open air pieces that I decided to keep; there were only a couple of others that year that I considered to be a success right off the easel.
I never framed or showed this painting but it has remained in my possession as a reminder of that experience. In what at first appeared to be a “sloppy” attempt, I later saw some value in the spontaneity of of the brushwork as I tried to capture the fleeting light and my emotional response to the to what I saw before me.

I made this painting almost forty years ago. I can’t remember the title, but I’m sure it had something to do with winter… or maybe cornfields.🤷🏻‍♂️ I just liked the colors!
