Montana Painting

For this painting I started by abstracting a collection of found images in Photoshop prior to painting on canvas. Creating crisp lines was important to me in this piece because I wanted to create a strong contrast between clean lines, and messy crude marks for the sake of visual interest. This one didn't start out with a story in mind, nor was I working with literal imagery from this trip, but as I was painting it, it started to remind me of a recent fishing adventure I went on with my father in Montana. We were two novice fly fisherman, floating down the river with a guide and surprising ourselves with how much we were catching. The vast expanse of land that goes on for miles with just one or two simple houses in sight is such a stark contrast from Detroit. Midway through the painting I noticed what it was reminding me of, and began to push it more intentionally in the direction of the landscape of that trip.
