For so many seasons together, about a hundred and twenty of them so far, I am grateful to my beloved, Susan Hicks Bryant. I was an artist before I met Susan, but I had not yet learned to think about color, and her influence is always with me as I work.
I am also grateful to my friends Mark Magnuson and Steve Westfield, whose retreat in the woods kept me in tune for this project during the last year.
Finally, I am grateful to my friend Greg Sand: his keen eye and careful work are invaluable in the studio.
