About Me
Like most artists... I feel the need to create... art is therapeutic for me. One of my favorite ways to paint is on location "en plein aire"; the French term literally translates "in open air". I have a passion for oil painting and feel a strong kinship to the Impressionists and my style leans in their direction. Landscapes, seascapes, cityscapes, and still lifes make up the bulk of my work. I am drawn to subjects that evoke feelings of peace and serenity. The majority of my works offered here are painted alla prima (in one sitting) either from life, imagination, or photographs (mostly my personal photos). The smaller sizes allow for affordable collecting and serve to strengthen my work ethic as I have joined the ranks of the "A Painting a Day" art movement. I am completely self taught, except for "a little help from my friends", my fellow artist friends that is, who so generously share their thoughts and knowledge with me. We hang out much like the Impressionist’s of old did in the cafes of Paris, only in a cyberspace kind of way. Every painting takes me one step closer to the level I desire to achieve. Thanks for joining me on this quest... my Artistic Release.
