Field work and research, for me, are means to marvel at nature. Painting is another.
I mostly paint landscapes of field sites, and other inspiring places that I've traveled to. 

"Nature first, then theory. Or, better, Nature and theory closely intertwined while you throw all your intellectual capital at the subject. Love the organisms for themselves first, then strain for general explanations, and with good fortune, discoveries will follow. If they don't, the love and the pleasure will have been enough." - E.O. Wilson, in Naturalist
