Clouds Over the Mountain in acrylic by the author 2020

  Tasting of daphne, the enormous wave
  Thundering in the water cave—
  Thunder in stone..."

A Field of Wild Lilies in acrylic by the author, 2015

A lily of a day
Is fairer far in May,
Although it fall and die that night,
It was the plant and flower of light.
In small proportions we just beauties see,
And in short measures life may perfect be.
- Ben Jonson

Walden Pond in acrylic as envisioned  by Anna Christina Rotor,
then in the grade school, circa 1995. 

"Where have all the trees and the pristine waters gone?"

“I find it wholesome to be alone the greater part of the time. To be in company, even with the best, is soon wearisome and dissipating. I love to be alone. I never found the companion that was so companionable as solitude.” ― Henry David Thoreau, Walden ~
