| About Me: |
I am a landscape painter. My subject matter is very traditional, while my painting style floats between realism and impressionism. The Impressionists and Post Impressionists have greatly influenced me.
If I could put my finger on why I paint, what I paint, where and how I paint, it is to simply search-out special places and explore the emotional moments with all my senses on high alert throughout the entire process of creating art. It intrigues me how light elevates a commonplace land ...morescape to an extraordinary one. I strive for my paintings to be a lyrical account of that unique fleeting moment in time. My intent is simply to convey an emotional and intuitive response to the mystery and serenity of the landscape in light and shadow. Hopefully,I compel the viewers to interpret my work from their own rich pool of memories,impressions and experiences, and in a little different way each time they encounter it.
I found pastel to be a wonderful link between painting and drawing. The pastels' ability to maintain an integrity of individual strokes, combined with the liveliness of its colors, foster a passionate poetic language."
"If I can give the viewer an impression of atmosphere, if I can open their eyes to the simple beauty around us, then I have done well. Painting is the language of feelings from the heart."

You do some beautiful art work. What a gift! I am more into pastels myself when it comes to landscapes. I like the blend better. But you made those look so....real.
