"What the landscape painter wants to render is not the natural landscape but
the feeling which the landscape produces in him."
Working in oils, I attempt to convey what inspires me. Painting with a
direct ‘alla prima’ (all at once) technique, I handle the pigment loosely,
applying free strokes of paint, quickly and powerfully. Combined with my
endless passion for painting outdoors, en plein air, I strive to capture
‘that impression’ of the beautiful colors and forms in nature. I work at
making my technique, colors and design seem simple. I look to achieve order
through arrangement of line, pattern, color, light and shadow, to make
paintings that have the qualities of good design.
