About The Artwork
P is the first painting that I began during the Covid Pandemic. During this strenuous time, I've tried to express what I associated with changes in civilization, culture, and artistic expression. My process begins with a collection of deadheaded flowers from the garden at our home in SW Denver. My wife, Kathy, photographs the flowers and uploads the pictures to be digitized. I work with the images in a photo enhancement software to adjust placement, values, shadows, and contrast and compose a working draft. Next, I lay down the primary base colors of the selected image. I always prefer using oil paint to create my paintings, rather than watercolor or acrylic paint, since it dries more slowly. Also, linseed oil thins the different paint for mixing the perfect color. Hence, slower dry time allows more opportunity for blending and shading. I find peony flowers to be a wonderful expression of the regular triumphs I experience daily.

After several years working in graphic design, Ron took to the studio to paint. Primarily working in oil, he occasionally creates conceptual pieces using mixed media. His works have been exhibited in Dallas, Denver and Los Angeles. His influences include but are not limited to Wassily Kandinsky, Lawren Harris, Georgia O'Keeffe and Authur Dove. He lives in Colorado with his wife, Kathy Trageser. “I’ve always felt the need to understand the sense that there is a larger force at work in the universe. This mystical approach has become my style. Though my paintings tend toward the representational, I am creating landscapes from within; hoping to transcend the physical, mental or spiritual and instead portray a measure of all three. As my creations have evolved from realistic imagery I always limited the context of foreground, background, etc, to the direct identification of the subject itself: river, tree, or flower and to isolation of colors and patterns. I hope to carry forward this choice to utilize strong images, refined to an essence, bringing forth artwork which is sublime and accessible.”
