About The Artwork
Abstract Landscape Painting, 66"Wx68"H, Acrylic on Canvas "Tuscany" was painted Plein Air as Artist in Residence at La Macina di San Cresci, in Tuscany, Italy, May 2015 "Tuscany" is inspired by the beautiful mountain, valley, and architectural Montifioralle HilltownvViews from LaMacina di San Cresci, Greve in Chianti. The painting is also about paint! “Tuscany” is an abstract landscape painting filled with Sunlight, mountainous terrain, cypresses lining the slopes, architectural forms, blue sky with white clouds, the turquoise of a nearby pond, vineyard patterns, color wheel colors spinning round, and figurative directional markings in black and burnt umber. Cerise near turquoise adds incomprehension to advantage in the expressionist work. A couple from Holland, driving by in a black BMW, slammed on the brakes with a cloud of dust, emerged from the vehicle and expressed the following astonishment: “With all the blue and green of this place why yellow?” I replied “It is the golden Sunlight on my shoulders that is most important!” “Tuscany” was created in two creative phases. Our son Matthew observed the work in its initial stages, making some positive conclusions and significant critiques. With a few minor adjustments and Matt’s insights, the work captured, I hope, the glowing serenity of Toscany.

Painting is my passion. Landscape architecture is my profession. I paint large abstract canvases plein-air by the ocean in Rhode Island, and in the vineyards of Tuscany, Italy. My paintings are about nature, and the nature of painting and drawing. Through color, line, and the creation of form, I search for order and meaning. Thematically, my interests center on the landscape abstracted, and pure abstraction in painting. Aerial perspectives, shorthand figure markings, spectrum paints, accidents, and deliberate risk engage, disrupt, and enhance my Art. Over the last several years, I have completed extended stays at Artist's Residences, including Fruitlands Museum, Harvard MA; Tuscany; Nantucket; and Wyoming. These places greatly influence my work emotionally, and fill my canvases with the light, landscape, and culture observed in these dramatically different environments. As a traditionalist, love of family, world travel, classical literature and music, hiking, and gardening provide life’s greatest pleasures. Galleriy representation includes Saatchi Art, Singulart, Providence Art Club, Arts and Business Council of Greater Boston, DeCordova Museum Corporate Lending Program, and Gallery Twist Richard's award winning art is exhibited locally and internationally, with works sold in the US, Italy, Germany, and Spain, with paintings and drawings collected in renowned public and private venues.
