Lanny McDowell – In His Own Words

I have not always been an artist in practice. I have probably always been someone who is very comfortable out of doors and a person who comes alive when the senses are challenged to expand. I remember specifically scenes from Bertolucci, a stairwell, a combination of partitions of different texture, when I realized that my eyes and the sum of my art experience behind my eyes were changing so many of the images I faced into abstract expressionist stills. The progression of horizons, shading away into haze. The waves of grasses blown across surging fields.
A Wilson's Storm Petrel dances above slick seas.
Barred Owl at Boston's Public Garden
A Red Knot drops into a soup of feeding shorebirds
Accidental scarlets — a Cedar Waxwing.
Semi-palmated Sandpiper stretching at Squibnocket Beach
Migrating Bullock's Orioles at a livestock pond, in Arizona
Purple Sandpipers glean rocks at Squibnocket.
