Sheltering Painting

I was walking in my quiet neighborhood at sunset. It had rained earlier that afternoon and the air was bright and crystal-clear. I turned a corner and stopped in my tracks, in awe at how five old cedar trees, bending into the sunset, loomed protectively over a house. The home looked enfolded by nature and safe. My Artistic Inspiration— I’m a cityscape oil painter passionate about bright colors and deep contrast. How I love this quiet Burbank, California neighborhood at sunset! My palette is bright with high-key colors and my brushstrokes are expressive. There’s inspiration all around us, especially in the places we’ve experienced a million times. Light and nature are living things, constantly changing. I try to look around me with new eyes, and I invite my audience to do the same.
