Eagle Bay

"I'm often asked, "where is Eagle Bay?".  My answer is simple, I made it up.  Late one night in my studio as I was beginning to work on the sketch for a new painting, I began to wonder - where would I be "standing" as I painted the scene - and how would each of my paintings relate to the others?  

To find the answers, I turned to the white board in my studio and began to sketch the map, placing each of the images right where it would belong around the perfect imaginary bay.

A while later when my wife, Donna, brought me a cup of tea, she suggested that I develop a map and name the community where all of the paintings would find a home.  Thus, Eagle Bay was born...from my imagination, that sketch and a late night visit from my favorite muse.
