International artist Gordon Halloran creates floating paintings in the shape of a lotus leaf, inspired by Claude Monet's water lily paintings, calving arctic icebergs and the flora and fauna of nature.

Layered Lotus in fall studio
Outside, it's still a neon fall.
Inside, we hear hail on the glass.
Gord mixes luscious colors, sensuous paint.
Once you step into the studio, pigment comes with you.
Frabjous!

Winter Miami light
It’s now the wind roars up at night
ripping threads from torn leaves
red down
yellow down
brown burnt all around
chimneys puff gray smoke tendrils
and early birds at the window
steal seeds flutter and scurry wings
to bush branches
green and lime in Gordie’s studio
we play hockey
sweat indoors in our squash shorts
red up yellow
gorgeous without the rain
Miami seems far, far away
More
every day
we want the light
crave it
