I came upon these images in the show by happy coincidence..(the meaning of serendipity) in my walks or travels . They represent my attempt to capture the beauty I stumbled upon which is so momentary- so fleeting most of the time. You could go back to the same spot again and again and not see it look just as it did that moment you happened along on that exact day at that exact time of year . Some of these images I will have used photographic references for , others I will have simply painted from captured memories. - G. Shaw
