I’ve visited the bog at Malloryville several times this spring and summer to catch the pitcher plants in bloom. This recently completed painting barely shows the bog vegetation, but the strongly rooted tree and dappled lighting really appealed to me. When creating scenes such as this one, I always think back to one particular watercolor work by Albrecht Dürer which inspired me many years ago.

Head Waters 3 is new and part of a series of paintings based on the landscape of upper Six Mile Creek. This is a location I visit during all seasons of the year and never tire of its wild beauty.
