View of Spencer's Butte through Rhododendron Blossoms Painting

Inspired by the view from my Oregon home. We live in "Solar Heights" in the south hills of Eugene and right from our driveway we have this magnificent view of Spencer's Butte. The neighborhood is lush in its bushes, trees, and flowers and the Butte is this ever-changing, grand in scale, tree-lined mountain, popular with hikers. My style is "American verismo" which is a form of realism, really, but is a realism achieved through impressionism, that is, the form of impressionism born in Italy in the 1860s by the Tuscan group called the I Macchiaioli. The ideal is achieved through a proper balance of abstraction and realism, or at least the effect of realism. There is always abstraction in realism and realism in abstraction, at least when representing a scene through mass, line, and color and through the use of large dabs of pigment (the macchie).
