Sculpture ~ Landscape
My work can usually be described as landscape. They are not literal
renderings of specific places but a starting point. From there I like
to lay out the composition spontaneously often on a black or colored ground. The forms of trees and shadows are then drawn usually with brush and paint. Generous color is then put down suggested more by
imagination than by what my eye sees. The intense color making up the forms are often ( but not always ) unified by a strong outline. Painters such as Kandinsky, Derain, Vlamink have been influences of mine, they all use color arrived at emotionally instead of from the actual observation of nature itself.
