Walking, sailing, ice skating, canoeing, and swimming within the coastal landscape of the rural peninsula where Morse lives is fundamental to his painting practice. It is a process that emphasizes being in, and interacting directly with, the rural landscape and small villages that surround the artist’s studio. Morse’s practice focuses on oil painting and wooden sculpture. A natural mystic, he listens to the land and contemplates our relationship with it. His works embrace the interpretive nature of being, rather than the mechanical nature of seeing.
