ABOUT THE ARTWORK
In September 2023, after ten years of painting floral compositions, I began experimenting with a very different approach to oil painting, and began a series of expressive and (not quite) tonalist “invented” landscape compositions. These compositions record something that I observed in nature that was fleeting but revelatory, emphasizing light, mood, and the arrangement of shapes. The works are in oil using a limited palette, inexpensive hardware store brushes, a few quality oil bristle brushes, a simple non-toxic medium (refined linseed oil), paper towels, cotton rags and my fingers. They are mostly based on observation, memory and, sometimes, reference imagery. Like much great art, the paintings are a combination of fact and fiction, hard work and technical competence.

The Landscape series began in June of 2023. They are "invented landscapes", oil on panel, based on observation and memory. In order to convey the sense of the mood and mystery evocative of a tonalist work, they are created using a restricted palette of five colors plus white and, if necessary, a few support colors. There are no preliminary drawings and most are completed without the the use of an underpainting. Except for brush cleaning, no solvents or special mediums are used, only Refined Linseed Oil (more info on Studio Notes page), and a variety of inexpensive and high quality bristle brushes. Marks are also made using cotton rags, paper towels, swabs, my fingers and anything else suitable to convey a certain texture, mood and light. Except for when an underpainting is used the compositions are completed in a single session and some follow-up work if necessary, after drying.
