The paintings are little slices of place and time seen under the lens of my palate knife and pigment. They stand on their own as objects pleasing to the eye but also carry the spirit of the location they were conceived. For those that have been to the subject first hand it should jog memories and for those that haven’t it gives a way to travel without moving. Plein air painting is as much about hunting for an inspirational spot as it is about the finished work. It’s a record of a conversation between the artist and the earth meant to be eve-dropped on by the viewer. Art is the product of creating something greater than the sum of its parts and that is magic.
