Passing view with yellow Painting

I love travelling in a car: the peripheral views of landscape passing, glimpses caught out the corner of the eye, flashes of colour hinting at form. All these hints are the joy that makes car journeys and commuting worthwhile. These abbreviated landscapes have no firm geography. Places I have known merge into places I would wish to visit, colours pop in and out of reality. The abbreviated landscapes hint at the lives caught, but not held, for a brief moment before they are passed. I paint with the intention of transmitting the specific emotions associated with memory, deja vu and a moment lost in an instant.
