ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Painted in the Adirondacks on a rainy August day. I stood under the open hatch of my station wagon with an umbrella extending for cover from the on and off again down pour while I painted this. This was painted during the 2016 Plein-Air Festival, and it still is the favorite painting from that trip. This painting is quiet. It drowns out other sounds. Observational painting is a form of meditation. The greens are saturated with yellow that happens in August. Luckily oil paint resists the rain. The area of Black Pond is part of the preserve near Paul Smith's College. The painting is framed in a natural wood floater frame.

I am a live event painter. Wedding painting has been my main focus of work for the last 8 years... I organize a weekly figure drawing session in my community, this is my playtime. I am passionately dedicated to painting. I started oil painting when was 12 years old. Painting from life or on location enables me to use all of my senses. I work quickly and intuitively, laying down a damp tone on the canvas and then create compositional indications in paint of the subject. I try to feel the land and how I am connected to it. Time of day, atmosphere, temperature, light, movement, season...all inform my paintings. This allows sensory exploration into a combination of representation and painterly abstraction. At the same time, I use illusion to visually represent what draws us in and brings our insides out. When it feels like a poem, I know it is completed. I serve on the board of directors of my Orange County Arts Council, NY.
