Forest Painting

This is my first attempt at reacting to the west coast rain forest. While this area is not as wet as other parts of the coast it does have stands of old growth Sitka Spruce and massive amounts of foliage. The challenge for me as I see it is to translate the sense of warmth and energy that I feel from this land even though there is a predominance of green which reads as cool. Walking over eons of needles and semi exposed root systems I feel a heat sink larger than I felt in the thin forests of the semi-arid deserts where I have spent so many years. The is energy bursting forth everywhere so how ..read more

Beauty and social conscience

My calling as a painter is to explore and exalt the beauty and goodness of creation. I am fully aware that the art academics and critics embrace an industry driven by cleverness, shock, social commentary and pontification. That's fine, its a big world with room for all of us. As for me I will follow and attempt to climb upon the shoulders of Sargent, Sorolla, Metcalf, Waugh and all the Great Painters in the tradition of representational art.  In Beauty we find a bit of Truth, a glimpse into the heart of our Creator as well as tiny appreciation for the collective unity of all. My ambition ..read more

I am starting to feel the sudden impact of the wave now. Will keep working on my value plan as I see its slipping away. That seems to be a weakness for me the longer that I work on a piece the more likely it is that I lose the design. I always allow for the flow of a painting to lead me along but not at the expense of the main idea. The rocks could use some more work I think. Ill mull it around now and return to it tomorrow ..read more
