ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Medium and materials are oil and cold wax on linen mounted on board. The inspiration for this piece came about from a kayaking trip to this deserted island just north of North Myrtle beach in South Carolina. Our small group had to kayak through some inlet waves but once we were there, the whole island was ours. It was overcast and moody and had a very ancient vibe, like time was standing still.

I spent early years bumbling about some pretty amazing landscapes. Simple summer gardens, pecan groves and running creeks in the Piedmont region of the Carolina's. As a child I adored spending time exploring & funny thing,... I'm getting back around to that mode of exploring. This year I find myself going back to familiar grounds. I've moved from South Carolina low-county's copious creeks & salt marshes to the familiar lush, rolling hills of the Piedmont area of the Carolina's. I will always be influenced and find beauty in the atmospheric conditions of most landscapes. But the exploration is what thrills me. So, it's time for another adventure and sharing what might be found. My main medium is oil because for me it works best to show light and atmosphere with the most tone and range. My usual approach to painting is generally characterized as Tonalism. If you're wondering what Tonalism is, you are not alone. Tonalism isn't as well known as Impressionism, Expressionism, Realism, Abstract or most any other defined art movement. Tonalism emphases color, line and shape without narrative as a way of communicating visual harmony and spirituality. I like to consider myself a lifetime learner and have attended workshops and studied with artists and art teachers I greatly admire. My favorite paint saints are Mark Rothko, Georgia O'Keeffe, John Henry Twachtman, Birge Harrison, Frits Thaulow, and George Inness. I use highest quality materials available. Like Steve Jobs said "Quality is more important than quantity. One home run is much better than two doubles."
