| I think of myself as a painter trying to capture the light and drama of the landscape. I love painting outdoors, on location. My goal is to capture the evanescent beauty of the landscape in paintings with bold, simple compositions. Boldness comes from painting with a large brush, melding strong value contrasts and dominant color themes. Recently I have been painting whimsical, humorous pictures. I began painting this way as a result of looking for a new approach beyond the realistic landscapes that I usually paint. For examples, look at the first row of pictures on my watercolor page. |
