Lunar Painting

I am an introvert. Being that way I find myself gravitating towards quiet landscapes where I can appreciate the minutia of the life and land that make up the surroundings. I like to meditate on a place and what aspects of it stand out and hope to encourage the viewer to picture a place in their own mind’s eye that is inspired by my work. I explore places taking in the details that create the intrigue of a place and document it with notes and photos; all which resurface as the texture, color and general inspiration for my work. I utilize varying paint thicknesses; some layers are palette knife application and others are similar to glazing techniques, but I like to push the limits of glazing and it is in the myriad of thin layers where I introduce subtle color shifts and treat the paint in a way to allow for spontaneity.
