"Primarily a plein air painter, I am part of an ever growing band of representational painters across the country. Landscapes are my main focus. But any subject is fair game. Not all my paintings done "on the spot" are keepers. When I paint outside, I try to capture the mood of the place and the lighting, which can be fleeting. Usually, I have a two to three hour window to paint before the setting has completely changed or I can’t remember how it looked when I started to paint it. I don’t go for a high degree of ‘finish.’ I like to leave the viewer to finish interpreting the painting.......it’s more interesting than if the painting is completely spelled out.”
