Welcome to my World of Places. A Place to Encounter a Calm Quietness. Allowing us Space to Breathe.
MessageStatement
I choose to paint landscape the land around us and the environment we live in gets ignored. Landscape is an endless source of visual information and inspiration from the least detail to the grandest vista. I am inspired by the magnitude of the natural world, even in the apparently uninhabited landscape; God must have had and is having a grand time creating. Why do I paint? I want to share the Creator’s enjoyment in work. I can only reflect and modify what creation shows. I think the creation has that Joy in it.
I start from field sketches and photographs of my own, making value and compositional adjustments as I work. I lay down the largest shapes gently, and then build multiple layers of color through several layers until the details emerge to finish the painting. If the paintings are bright and lively, you will see them. If not, I start again.
The chosen media varies according to the work at hand. I’ll mix and match them as required to render what I want. I really enjoy all different kinds of media, and will experiment in the studio with lots of different things.
