ARTIST’S STATEMENT

I always try to create paintings that give one the feel of the place; that sense of “I’ve been there!” I like to paint on location when it’s nice out. This way I can see nuances and colors that just aren’t possible to get from a photo. When I do larger paintings I use my small outdoor paintings as my reference. When you’ve spent a few hours somewhere studying the scene with a paint brush and canvas you remember much more than you do if you just snap a photo on your way by. Remembering the sounds, temperatures, weather and any events during the painting session brings a deeper dimension to the larger studio paintings, so others can enjoy the scene as much as I did at the time of painting it.
