She quickly showed her competence and talent, was put in a leadership position and is in demand at sites around the city to spearhead and implement reforestation and native planting projects. “The Science of Plants has run in my blood for centuries; it's no wonder I am a professional gardening expert. It is my personal preference to wander the corners of New York finding, developing, staging, maintaining and encouraging the strength of indigenous native vegetation. I often find my own journey to be comparable with the encroached areas I encounter day after day, only to uncover the brilliance of a native landscape.” Myisha Humphrey purchase reproductions from Fine Art America https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56be01df45bf2136bd422199/1686420402756-7VLO1SL380HNX6768KPY/image-asset.jpeg Biophiles - A New Generation - IDEA VIOLA REID - CLIMATE JUSTICE ACTIVIST oil on canvas 32” x 30” Idea Viola is a professionally trained dancer in ballet and modern techniques. Her overall driving passion is a commitment to environmental justice and addressing climate change. Through academic research, dialogue with peers, climate scientists and other activists, choreographed dance pieces, she is part of a generation seeking solutions. “ I am certainly not the first Black woman to feel a sense of responsibility and duty to the place I call home. In fact, I am in very good company. You’ll see it time and time again–stories of Black women doing what they can to improve the lives of people in their communities, bring attention to the land they love and put it all on the line (including themselves and their health) to make a difference. It's these women that inspire me. It’s our very own Beryl Thurman, Staten Island’s premier example of a trailblazing environmental justice activist, that inspires me. I think it all boils down to an appreciation for one’s own home, love, and a desire to give. At the end of the day, if I can give back just a fraction of the love, safety and happiness that my upbringing gave me, to all the living beings that also call (and will call) this borough their home, I will feel satisfied.” purchase reproductions from Fine Art America https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56be01df45bf2136bd422199/1679675123560-IKMIYE5J99VLAW9AI23B/Forager+Aly+Stoffo+website.jpg Biophiles - A New Generation - The Forager - Aly Stoffo oil on mdf board 24” x24” Aly is a sustainability-trained educator with a Master's degree from Arizona State University. She gives workshops on wild food foraging, and is an organic gardener that offers herbal products, eco-education, and artistic products through her business Glam Gardener NYC. Whether it's hand-foraged herbal products or zero-waste greeting cards, “Glam Gardener NYC”, as she’s known, is dedicated to serving local, ethical + sustainable options. “I was lucky to grow up across the street from miles of Greenbelt trails to get lost in. I fell in love with exploring the woods in our borough at a very young age. The serenity of it stayed with me. Foraging reminds me that our health is directly linked to the health of our environment, even when not so apparent. The act of learning to ethically harvest can teach us to develop a reciprocal relationship with nature. A relationship that makes us feel protective over it and motivated to preserve all that we have left. In the past, I’ve worked in corporate sustainability jobs, always in an office far away from the wild. While there was no doubt that we were doing something good for the planet, it felt disconnected. I think that we all need to reconnect with what’s real—the ground beneath us—in order to stay sane and healthy in a complicated and ever-changing world. I use foraging as a tool to help others fall in love with nature like I did when I was a little girl. I hope to show people that we can and should develop a relationship with our environment, no matter how urban it is.” Aly Stoffo purchase reproductions from Fine Art America https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56be01df45bf2136bd422199/1659634522466-LLXRWABKOSVI4W3QDUB2/Beekeeper+sm.jpg Biophiles - A New Generation - The Beekeeper - Nick Rozak oil on mdf 17” x 17.5” The smoker keeps bees calm during hive inspections. When bees sense danger, they release an alarm pheromone that alerts other bees to be ready to attack. Smoking a beehive masks this pheromone, allowing the beekeeper to safely perform a hive inspection “When I started beekeeping I was shocked how little I knew about bees, about insects in general and how much they support our environment. We spend most our lives trying to kill insects- mowing lawns, pesticides, bug zappers. Being a beekeeper, people called me looking for help relocating bees without killing them. I quickly realized this was not a service offered locally and feared they would give up and call an exterminator. I started offering no-kill bee removals for the Island working with other local beekeepers; this quickly turned into a full business. Besides being able to save millions of bees, I speak with many Iocals, explaining the difference between different yellow-stripey-stinging things and help them better understand that bees are friendly and how important all insects are.” Nick Rozak purchase reproductions from Fine Art America https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56be01df45bf2136bd422199/1659635904245-O9SZZBOD1YYKYDXY2ZU3/Myisha%2Bsm.jpg Biophiles - A New Generation https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56be01df45bf2136bd422199/1659634670769-712AG9FP2R1HW6BHZEF7/Gateway.jpg Biophiles - A New Generation - Gateway oil on wood 12” x 12” Late afternoon on a cool, windy, early spring day near Crooks Point, beach grasses catch the sun and hide in shadows purchase reproductions at Fine Art America https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56be01df45bf2136bd422199/1659634969763-DZ1U7N243Q8ZYEWQ2QWC/Urban+Deer.jpg Biophiles - A New Generation - Urban Deer oil on mdf board 8” x 6” Snug Harbor Cultural Center has woodlands surrounding the complex which provide enough cover and sustenance for a number of deer.

They're imposing in appearance and comfortable in their space. The protuberance, much like a unicorn's horn is interesting and colors pronounced. I learned that the "horn" is called a snood, usually a fleshy flap hanging over a turkey's beak. In males, it's generally much longer. When the animal is frightened, angry, agitated or amorous, the snood becomes erect. "When the turkey gets flustered, the blood vessels contract, exposing more of the collagen bands. This changes the way that incoming light scatters and reflects off of the turkey's skin, causing it to appear blue or white.

Created to divert heavy traffic and fumes from the old residential neighborhood of Carroll Gardens, it is a rather unpleasant stretch of roadway. Notoriously congested with a merge and narrowing lanes, it can be purgatorial in the worst circumstances, but almost ritualistic and promising as reaching the end offers a dramatic sweeping view of Manhattan and New York Harbor.

This is just an area to pass through, generally a bit of an annoyance to navigate as other drivers often obstruct the drop-off/pickup flow or you're looking for a space as to prevent being an offender. There's a particular sense of place though...the overhead ramps, industrial design, oddly appointed lots, exit and entrance ways.

Though I often paint scenes embracing gritty reality settled in with natural beauty or just an oddly appealing familiarity....I have never been compelled to document the landfill. It was too devastatingly sad and ever-worsening.

My brother survived the strike on the WTC. His wife and I watched the towers burn and collapse over and over on the television news that morning. We could barely breathe, cry, or dare to hope as we envisioned Jared's last moments, anonymously repeated in slow motion for all to see. Our relief and gratitude upon finally hearing from him was subdued by the surrounding anguish. Jared's reportage of the defining minutes of evacuation and rescue provided an overwhelming image that would endure. "As we made our way down the smoke filled stairwells, I could smell burning jet fuel. The firefighters kept everyone calm, guiding and assuring us that we would be fine. I tried to remember the face of each one as he passed us going up; they had to know they might never come down, even if you couldn't see it in their eyes... I felt that someone should look at their faces because it might be the last time anyone did." Alternately constrained and rent by grief, disbelief, fear, rage and soaring empathy for the victims and their loved ones, none of us knew where to go. One tangible location for many was the hilltop on Victory Boulevard with Staten Island's unique view of the skyline. People gathered there for days after the 11th, to look, understand, and verify. I've long felt an unreasonable propriety for that vista, having labored it on canvas fifteen years ago. The power of a painting, now only an abstract truth, the reality of the present and my brother's resonating words spurred me to this project. "Staten Island September" is acknowledgment of our communal trauma, its aftermath and collective long view. Hometown examination has long been a focus of my work, almost always starkly personal. This piece is different. It's an attempt to put our experience as Staten Islanders... our collective pain, our emotional processes regarding 9/11 into a singular image. It was crucial to include the lyrical, powerful monument already in place, Masayuki Sono's Postcards memorial. Staten Island, NYC's least populated borough, lost over 270 people on September 11th, nearly 80 of them first responders, so many from my immediate neighborhood.

Her wonderful, humorous educational series called Green Porno was a major hit; she also runs a farm on Long Island. It was a pleasure and privilege to paint Rossellini. Her exquisite face has been ceaselessly celebrated, monetized and photographed for most of her life. Here though, she engages with the viewer in a light moment before peering through another set of lenses to observe wildlife. A woman stands in a vast, open field holding binoculars, gazing towards the horizon with a subtle smile. The background features a serene landscape with muted, overcast skies, creating a sense of calm and introspection. The setting sun casts a gentle glow, highlighting the texture of her coat and the distant scenery. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56be01df45bf2136bd422199/1580436983750-H729YX4ZF7BWK9JT8CKI/Mosci+at+Bemelmans.jpg portfolio - Robert Mosci at Bemelmans Bar oil on mdf 24" x 13" "Named in honor of Ludwig Bemelmans, the creator of the classic Madeline children’s books, Bemelmans Bar is a timeless location that continues to attract socialites, politicians, movie stars and moguls..."

"This is my wife, a physician, heading to work today in the middle of this craziness to take care of her patients. In a pandemic, real heroes wear scrubs. Stay safe. Stay at home. And pray for the emergency responders.” There she was, in a husband's loving testimonial photo, on her way to help bring more lives safely into the world at an immensely precarious time, their own little girl at home. I was inspired by this photo. The constant reminders of essential workers at highest risk are humbling. These are the EMTs, nurses and doctors; many reporting in are distraught, exhausted, but resolute. They're depended on at our most vulnerable moments and when we’re in crisis. Rafiné told me about the obstacles faced, solutions found in childbirth and delivery in her Miami hospital: An expectant mother with Covid, mandatory exclusion of all but one visitor, full PPE for the entire team at all times… patients with painful, serious but non-life threatening ailments must wait for treatment...so many exponentially stressed by economic fallout.

Rodriguez - Distance Runner   oil on canvas 48" x 48" http://www.runnersworld.com/web-exclusive/running-in-art/slide/12 Every running community has its legends and heroes...the ones who go farthest or fastest, have lasted the longest as competitors, come back from the worst injuries or make the most of what they have as athletes. These icons of spirit become local property, instilling pride as if they were historical landmarks. A Comrades Ultra marathon veteran and Viet Nam veteran as well, Louis Rodriguez is part of the natural landscape - he can almost always be seen on the horizon at various hours, moving evenly along the shoulder of the road anywhere within a ten mile radius of his 100 mile per week route. Raised in East Harlem by struggling Puerto Rican parents, his focus on success for the next generation meant suppressing a draw to the arts. In a newspaper interview response to the question, “Why do you run?”, he is quoted: “My daily runs are performances that I choreograph from within as I move through space and time. As the dancer becomes the dance, the runner becomes the run, my stage awaits, where I become one” In August of 2001, this 55 year old aircraft mechanic began to run for many lives. When his long time running partner was diagnosed with breast cancer, he decided to do something in support of her and all women. Wearing a singlet inscribed This I Do For You he ran from Staten Island, New York to Miami, Florida, raising funds for breast cancer education and research. He ran over thirty-five miles a day for 38 consecutive days, handing out leaflets in every town. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56be01df45bf2136bd422199/1455320264576-CM2O14RRGD6NFTL98RT2/Self+Portrait+98.jpg portfolio - Self Portrait - 1998 oil on board - 12” x 15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56be01df45bf2136bd422199/1558150300671-ASP9EHHJQJF7NPU55IJO/Guarascis.jpg portfolio - DRS RICHARD and CARIN GUARASCI oil on canvas 40” x 48” Dr. Richard Guarasci has been president of Wagner College ( State Island, NYC) for 21 years.

I used at least twelve different images, figuring out the height of the dog in relation to Sean, the lighting on his officer's suit (it was from a group photo that didn't include a great deal of what I needed), and then winged it with the sunflowers. They were an important component to this dream/memory-scape portrait. His wife fondly recalls her husband's incredible sunflowers. Their Belgian Shepherd too was an element she asked me to include. After poring over the reference, I decided to tackle this. (I have turned down jobs if I feel unable to work with too limited imagery.) There was so much sentiment though, so well explained and shared through our conversation that I was honored with the trust and felt I had enough information. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56be01df45bf2136bd422199/1552498028893-L1HIPQ9G4DQUK6UDYVN6/Drydocked.jpg portfolio - Drydocked oil on board 7.75" x 7.25" https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56be01df45bf2136bd422199/1455296406294-LTK0B4QXMDGX6XGUGGOI/Bernie_w.jpg portfolio - Bernie - Harbor Seal oil on board 11" x 15" (the late) Bernie is a harbor seal who I met when taking reference photos of Martha Hiatt of the NY Aquarium for a portrait of her and a beluga whale, Marina.

They're imposing in appearance and comfortable in their space I took photos when one stepped into my path with a cohort and opted to stay completely still, blocking me. The protuberance, much like a unicorn's horn was interesting and the colors especially pronounced. I was curious so looked up information, learning that the "horn" is called a snood, usually a fleshy flap hanging over a turkey's beak. In males, it's generally much longer. When the animal is frightened, angry, agitated or amorous, the snood becomes erect. "When the turkey gets flustered, the blood vessels contract, exposing more of the collagen bands. This changes the way that incoming light scatters and reflects off of the turkey's skin, causing it to appear blue or white. Thus, my painting is of a visibly annoyed turkey. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56be01df45bf2136bd422199/1616108394859-Y4WSLWDVCVEQF2Z3EFZ1/Family+Portrait.jpg portfolio - Family Portrait oil on canvas 33” x 29” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56be01df45bf2136bd422199/1707192909858-PLSK6HT0A5SOYJKN8WET/image-asset.jpeg portfolio - Bad Apple on Good Marble oil on mdf panel - 6” x 4.5” This unfortunate apple did not spoil the whole bunch, but did seem to have had a deleterious effect on those next to it in the bag.

There's a well-worn trust that the multiple ricocheting reflections through smudged glare are not apparitions as more personal thought processes or distractions settle in. The abdication of reality entertains me, like all the dings, beeps and buzzing we hear from sensors, our devices, machinery and vehicles throughout the day without questioning where, what or why. I aimed for the aesthetics and wonder of the utterly confusing array of lights, shadow and repeating images through several layers of fogged windows on an evening ferry.

The protuberance, much like a unicorn's horn was interesting and the colors especially pronounced. I was curious so looked up information, learning that the "horn" is called a snood, usually a fleshy flap hanging over a turkey's beak. In males, it's generally much longer. When the animal is frightened, angry, agitated or amorous, the snood becomes erect. "When the turkey gets flustered, the blood vessels contract, exposing more of the collagen bands. This changes the way that incoming light scatters and reflects off of the turkey's skin, causing it to appear blue or white. Thus, my painting is of a visibly annoyed turkey. purchase reproductions from Fine Art America purchase original https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56be01df45bf2136bd422199/1710529572020-K174RJH7GD8EYPZEM8M9/image.jpg • Peripheral Vision - Urban Doe oil on mdf panel 8” x 6” Snug Harbor Cultural Center (Staten Island, NYC) has woodlands surrounding the complex which provide enough cover and sustenance for a number of deer.

Sharing wonder for the natural world, outdoors and over time with a child is one of the greatest, most loving gifts. “I lost my dad when I was a young boy. However, I was lucky enough to spend time with my grandfather who taught me how to respect and enjoy nature. I felt my freest when I was out running or biking by the woods, lake or near the beach while sightseeing birds and other animals. Now that I have a child, I want to teach him what was taught to me: To love, respect and appreciate nature and all of its surroundings. Whenever I can I take my son to our special place, Mount Loretto to bird watch. I tell him stories about my grandfather; as his imagination dwells he asks me tons of questions. It is our time to connect as father and son.

She quickly showed her competence and talent, was put in a leadership position and is in demand at sites around the city to spearhead and implement reforestation and native planting projects. “The Science of Plants has run in my blood for centuries; it's no wonder I am a professional gardening expert. It is my personal preference to wander the corners of New York finding, developing, staging, maintaining and encouraging the strength of indigenous native vegetation.

Through academic research, dialogue with peers, climate scientists and other activists, choreographed dance pieces, she is part of a generation seeking solutions. “ I am certainly not the first Black woman to feel a sense of responsibility and duty to the place I call home. In fact, I am in very good company. You’ll see it time and time again–stories of Black women doing what they can to improve the lives of people in their communities, bring attention to the land they love and put it all on the line (including themselves and their health) to make a difference. It's these women that inspire me. It’s our very own Beryl Thurman, Staten Island’s premier example of a trailblazing environmental justice activist, that inspires me. I think it all boils down to an appreciation for one’s own home, love, and a desire to give.

She gives workshops on wild food foraging, and is an organic gardener that offers herbal products, eco-education, and artistic products through her business Glam Gardener NYC. Whether it's hand-foraged herbal products or zero-waste greeting cards, “Glam Gardener NYC”, as she’s known, is dedicated to serving local, ethical + sustainable options. “I was lucky to grow up across the street from miles of Greenbelt trails to get lost in. I fell in love with exploring the woods in our borough at a very young age. The serenity of it stayed with me. Foraging reminds me that our health is directly linked to the health of our environment, even when not so apparent. The act of learning to ethically harvest can teach us to develop a reciprocal relationship with nature. A relationship that makes us feel protective over it and motivated to preserve all that we have left. In the past, I’ve worked in corporate sustainability jobs, always in an office far away from the wild. While there was no doubt that we were doing something good for the planet, it felt disconnected. I think that we all need to reconnect with what’s real—the ground beneath us—in order to stay sane and healthy in a complicated and ever-changing world. I use foraging as a tool to help others fall in love with nature like I did when I was a little girl. I hope to show people that we can and should develop a relationship with our environment, no matter how urban it is.” Aly Stoffo purchase reproductions from Fine Art America https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56be01df45bf2136bd422199/1659634522466-LLXRWABKOSVI4W3QDUB2/Beekeeper+sm.jpg • Biophiles - A New Generation - The Beekeeper - Nick Rozak oil on mdf 17” x 17.5” The smoker keeps bees calm during hive inspections. When bees sense danger, they release an alarm pheromone that alerts other bees to be ready to attack. Smoking a beehive masks this pheromone, allowing the beekeeper to safely perform a hive inspection “When I started beekeeping I was shocked how little I knew about bees, about insects in general and how much they support our environment. We spend most our lives trying to kill insects- mowing lawns, pesticides, bug zappers. Being a beekeeper, people called me looking for help relocating bees without killing them. I quickly realized this was not a service offered locally and feared they would give up and call an exterminator. I started offering no-kill bee removals for the Island working with other local beekeepers; this quickly turned into a full business. Besides being able to save millions of bees, I speak with many Iocals, explaining the difference between different yellow-stripey-stinging things and help them better understand that bees are friendly and how important all insects are.” Nick Rozak purchase reproductions from Fine Art America https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56be01df45bf2136bd422199/1659634670769-712AG9FP2R1HW6BHZEF7/Gateway.jpg • Biophiles - A New Generation - Gateway oil on wood 12” x 12” Late afternoon on a cool, windy, early spring day near Crooks Point, beach grasses catch the sun and hide in shadows purchase reproductions at Fine Art America https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56be01df45bf2136bd422199/1659634969763-DZ1U7N243Q8ZYEWQ2QWC/Urban+Deer.jpg • Biophiles - A New Generation - Urban Deer oil on mdf board 8” x 6” Snug Harbor Cultural Center has woodlands surrounding the complex which provide enough cover and sustenance for a number of deer.

The primary theme of my work, the universality of the local, is rendered in landscapes and streetscapes. In three decades of living, working, and raising a family on Staten Island, I’ve recorded my personal arcs and environs. With its rich history, diverse architectural styles, and considerable geographic variation, New York’s greenest and quietest borough has presented unending vistas to me through a prism of perspectives, all endowed with intimate familiarity. This collection of work, a celebration and homage to the concept of home and the commonplace, is an alchemy wherein the prosaic becomes poetic, and the everyday is fertile ground for the creation of art. https://www.sarahyuster.com/peripheral-vision-1 daily 0.75 2024-10-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56be01df45bf2136bd422199/1602431274149-NOOWDV8XNRQJWH5PMC72/Supermarket+Lot.jpg Peripheral Vision - Supermarket Lot - Graced oil on mdf 25.5” x 17” North Shore Staten Islanders might recognize this as the lot behind what is currently Shop and Save in Port Richmond/Westerleigh.

Seasons, weather, time of day... Glowing sunlight bathes a city street at sunset, casting long shadows and creating a dramatic interplay of light and dark across the scene.

A tie-up on the inbound Gowanus spurs one to take the streets of Brooklyn on the way to Manhattan, New England or any points east.

There's a well-worn trust that the multiple ricocheting reflections through smudged glare are not apparitions as more personal thought processes or distractions settle in. The abdication of reality entertains me, like all the dings, beeps and buzzing we hear from sensors, our devices, machinery and vehicles throughout the day without questioning where, what or why. I aimed for the aesthetics and wonder of the utterly confusing array of lights, shadow and repeating images through several layers of fogged windows on an evening ferry. It was so confusing, I decided to just accept what I saw and hope it translated the experience of others. purchase reproductions from Fine Art America purchase original https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56be01df45bf2136bd422199/1708622092161-0IMNZRICSOD0RP5VS3TJ/image-asset.jpg Peripheral Vision - Hamilton Park Evening oil on wood 12” x 12” The industrial shore of New Jersey's side of the Kill Van Kull is brightly illuminated and jewel-like as seen from an old Staten Island, NYC hilltop neighborhood across the water. purchase reproductions from Fine Art America purchase original https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56be01df45bf2136bd422199/1708627771014-AR7MFUMCA54AD1OGOA5Q/Fishing+redo.jpg Peripheral Vision - Fishing oil on mdf panel 14” x 12” I was in Clove Lakes Park on Staten Island (NYC) when I spotted this crew, looking like a scene from classic boyhood. I asked to take some shots and was granted permission. I worked from extremely varied photos, none specifically like the image I created.

Throughout the year he also does late night stints with his trio, a rotating roster of some of NY's finest jazz players. purchase reproductions from Fine Art America purchase original https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56be01df45bf2136bd422199/1707846503845-5MZQU7LHA9L6M3ZFV02A/Jazz+at+The+Carlyle.jpg Peripheral Vision - Jazz at the Carlyle oil on wood 12" x 12" I went to hear Robert Mosci and his trio at the famed Bemelmans Bar in the Carlye Hotel. it was very busy. The place is dark and there's little room to maneuver for taking pictures. People do get up and shoot videos, snap photos though.. As I knew my reference would be limited, I aimed for a loose painting that captured the feel of the room - the warm, dim lighting and the collective energy, artistry of the musicians, their instruments. purchase reproductions from Fine Art America purchase original https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56be01df45bf2136bd422199/1602265906715-HB3OEWQUR1TQI0YSY0ZX/Drydocked.jpg Peripheral Vision - Drydocked oil on mdf 7.75" x 7.25" Curious George as the captain of a yellow submarine sits upon a bathtub's edge until called to duty purchase reproductions from Fine Art America purchase original https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56be01df45bf2136bd422199/1708801261941-ECV73XWWK0A4LAJTUEF2/Watchful%252BRepose%252B2.jpg Peripheral Vision - Watchful Repose oil on mdf 12.5" x 10.5" Snapping turtles hold great lore on Staten Island. Every pond has a legendary giant that is as wide as a child's arms can demonstrate - and then again as huge as that grown child's adult arm span in recollection. "They can break your wrist", "chomp off your finger", we were told - yet nobody truly knows anyone to whom such grave injury occurred. This one was smaller than an ankylosaurus but definitely bigger than most I've encountered - at least 30" from powerful snout to tail. purchase reproductions from Fine Art America purchase original https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56be01df45bf2136bd422199/1616107851957-V4I7TM2SD20BRWB2A5DO/Turkey+portrait.jpg Peripheral Vision - Vigilance oil on wood 12” x 12” The wild turkey population is burgeoning in my neighborhood. They're imposing in appearance and comfortable in their space I took photos when one stepped into my path with a cohort and opted to stay completely still, blocking me. The protuberance, much like a unicorn's horn was interesting and the colors especially pronounced. I was curious so looked up information, learning that the "horn" is called a snood, usually a fleshy flap hanging over a turkey's beak. In males, it's generally much longer. When the animal is frightened, angry, agitated or amorous, the snood becomes erect. "When the turkey gets flustered, the blood vessels contract, exposing more of the collagen bands. This changes the way that incoming light scatters and reflects off of the turkey's skin, causing it to appear blue or white. Thus, my painting is of a visibly annoyed turkey. purchase reproductions from Fine Art America purchase original https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56be01df45bf2136bd422199/1710529572020-K174RJH7GD8EYPZEM8M9/image.jpg Peripheral Vision - Urban Doe oil on mdf panel 8” x 6” Snug Harbor Cultural Center (Staten Island, NYC) has woodlands surrounding the complex which provide enough cover and sustenance for a number of deer.

Easily lost in work, and almost always engaged in some aspect of preparing to paint or painting itself, things have been different lately. I'm preoccupied and agitated along with everyone else.

Walking in a neighborhood park, glad to be outside, even in windy, threatening weather, I noticed this composition of cherry trees in bloom. One was blighted, missing foliage from half of it's branches. Nearby was a stump of another that had been removed. The interplay of heavy clouds with areas of brilliance and the persistent dark pinks, backlit by the waning, obscured sun seemed a parable for this time. purchase reproductions from Fine Art America purchase original https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56be01df45bf2136bd422199/1727459185917-PFZ3P4WC7J34FIM9P4B9/Before+the+Plow+correct.jpg Peripheral Vision - Before the plow The looming outline of elegant prewar apartment buildings interrupt the horizon line as they face each other at the top of this residential area.
