Imported Red grew from my first oil painting: a red cow leaping over a blood-red moon. An exaggeration of the Florida cracker cattle painted during last years blood moon. I carried that figure into a wider scene, setting a herd against a mountainside. The red carries several meanings at once: the red barn of an imagined farm, the phrase “when the cows come home,” and the idea of coming home to oneself, to God. It also points toward Florida’s layered origins, where even the cattle in the landscape arrived from elsewhere. The herd becomes part of a larger question: what does it mean to belong to a place, and what does it mean to come home? Isn’t it true that wherever you go, there you are?

In Jugo de China, monkeys and oranges meet inside an imagined Florida landscape, with the oranges held in blue-and-white china. The painting brings together several kinds of arrival: the monkeys that inhabit parts of Florida, the decorative monkeys associated with Palm Beach interiors, and a porcelain pattern shared across many cultures. The title comes from a story I remember learning while working flights to Puerto Rico, about oranges arriving in crates marked “jugo de China.” The scene folds these histories together into a Florida that feels both familiar and dreamlike—a place assembled from influences carried across borders and generations.

FEILD IMPRESSIONS mini series While working on the larger paintings within Gods green earth, I have been making small field studies that allow me to move more instinctively through the landscapes, colors and subjects of the collection. Painted in a single sitting, these impressions are looser and more immediate than larger works.

An early color and atmosphere study for Imported Red. I used this small scale impression to explore the paintings deep greens, shifting light, and dreamscape setting before developing the larger work.
