Earth, Sea, and Sky Painting

The vast majority of my completed paintings are the direct result of a specific place I have seen. It may have been something picked up from my own neighborhood, or maybe a scene observed while on vacation. At times the source was a location I purposefully sought out to discover; on other occasions, it was a view I happened upon purely by accident while driving down a road. In each of those cases, there would have been one or more sketches or photos created to serve as a reminder of what I saw and (more importantly) felt. Then, days, weeks, months, or even years later, a canvas would be painted in an attempt to recapture that "frozen" moment. Of course, there are many, many ideas that never became paintings. Some may still; most won't. There have also been those rare times when I began from only an idea. No drawing. No photograph. Simply a concept that connected me to a feeling, or to my imagination, perhaps to recollections from the past, or even a fleeting moment of inspiration. Those are—for me—more elusive to catch. In a sense, it's like trying to capture a dream in the sharpest of details long after waking. Or, maybe it's as if you're seeing the world with eyeglasses that are not quite the right prescription. In either case, there's a little information missing. At least, that's how my fully-invented paintings feel to me. But they're fun to do and each work is a furthering of my experience as an artist and human being. They have value. "Earth, Sea, and Sky" is one such painting. After so many trips to Martha's Vineyard and Cape Cod, I felt the need to simply express my love for those places where the elements of land, water, and air combine in such a particular way. There is a harmony of beauty and form that speaks to me so loudly that I followed the transmission line to the end. It turns out it lead me instead to Rockport, my home.
