As a landscape artist, the most thrilling times in my life are discovering spectacular scenes with dramatic lighting and nature’s perfect composition, merging momentarily for my private pleasure. That’s why I live to paint! One of my favorite times to scout is right before or immediately after a rainstorm. Clouds rise and twist in abstract shapes and the sun breaks through, highlighting a meadow of wildflowers or the foliage lining a riverbank. Nature seldom provides trees or rocks exactly where I want them; so, artistic license allows my creativity to intervene and design my own spectacular moments in the studio.
