I paint primarily in oil and pastel. I’ll paint outside ( plein air),
In a studio set up or from my personal photographs. One of my favorite subjects is the landscape. The earth is expressively wonderful and ever changing. The ocean, the sky, and the trees, and the pitch of the land and the all important light that falls over everything setting a mood or time. I enjoy painting the person it’s form and emotion. The way a body is held, a reflective stance, it’s curving lines and gesture. Close ups of flowers fruit and still lives are also among my best loved to render.
Painting the picture is a process an interaction between subject, the materials, the emerging painting and myself. |
