INSTALLATION

STATEMENT

Distilling the essence of the landscape.

 

There is no way to explain the experience of sitting alongside a body of water and just looking, putting brush to paper, and beginning.

What do I look at? The sky? The horizon? The water? So many distractions, and not so much.

Feeling it out and making the experience happen, again, on paper.

Back to the studio, figuring it out again, and creating another something new. The paint is all-important. I want to see the paint.

The view. The paint. What next?

Nothing.

Everything.

It is powerful and fundamental.
