So many of us find comfort in the seeming chaos of nature.  The paradox of a twisted vine or scattered stones presents an underlying rhythm that speaks to us. 

Landscapes are living records of balance,  structure, randomness, growth, and decay – a continued transformation.

When I paint,  I try to remain aware of nature’s tension, seeking color patches that convey the surprising and visual values of the outdoors.  I like the interesting juxtaposition of man-made structures against a wild landscape. 

I look for sentences through my lines and colors.  I examine the seen and unseen, in other words, searching for the spirit that exists between them.  

So many landscapes are vanishing, so the intention here is to give viewers a permanent sense of homegrown familiarity with calm clarity through deliberate coloring. 

What is more important, the color field or the composition?
