Along the Five and Elsewhere
For the past four years I have been painting stands of trees on aluminum. The images are a balance of realism and suggestion, concentrated detail and open space. Giving the image breathing room increases its impact and encourages a more restful experience for the eye, much as one might hope to achieve by viewing nature itself.
Prior to this work I was painting in oil and mica powder on wood. The oil on aluminum created a wonderful drawing environment and my minimal, atmospheric abstractions evolved into detailed, realistic paintings. The technique is ambiguous and is sometimes mistaken for a photo transfer, etching or etching plate.
All of this work is done from imagination. I am more interested in the sense of landscape than a depiction of an actual location. I find that working from imagination allows for a more dream-like, romantic result than that done from photos or life.
