plied to create a magical landscape. One imagines Dot believes that during their night migrations, geese see the world colored in a way foreign to us, as James Gurney in his book Dinotopia claims that dinosaurs viewed things. The cheerfulness of this picutre makes me wish it were somewhere I often pass.
Dot’s smaller painting “The Rappahannock’s Genesis” is reminiscent of John Marin’s abstract watercolors. Up close, it is interesting and informative, but at a distance, it presents a confused, weak image.
Neal Woodall’s photographs show sensitivity and great skill. His “Conversation Pending”, a study of a raft in what seems like the fading summer evening light, is a monochrome of many blue tones, showing how beautiful blue can be and how a deserted scene can .suggest human beings.
Neal’s Ektachrome “Heron” has the exotic quality of a Japanese wood block print. A meticulously imaged bird is perched on a log backed by a shimmering waterscape of abstract and indecipherable nature. I can only rejoice that Neal preserved that moment in that place for our amazement.
Other photographs and paintings are there to study; I don’t want to give away the whole story! See for yourself the many ways water can be portrayed in its many phases and _ in the process, learn more about* “Exceptional Waters.”
