"Entropy" Painting

I was born in Wichita Kansas. My mother, Lois McCall, was an accomplished landscape painter and my father, Henry McCall, whom was a business man, greatly inspired me in many ways. I started painting in oils at the age of 4 with my mother, reworking one of her landscapes and I have been intrigued with painting ever since. I can best describe my work as purist landscapes. It is about the pure form of the landscape the color of the sky, clouds, rocks, and trees. I avoid painting buildings, people, or dated objects in my landscapes. I paint from my memory and imagination this allows me to focus on a timeless feeling of nature. I strive for a lyrical or magical glowing feeling in my work, while trying to convey a sense of calmness and serenity. Each work can vary greatly depending on the feeling and memory of the landscape filtered thru my imagination. I do see a general look about my work, which I hope you enjoy. - Preston McCall
