Midwest Landscapes
I approach landscape painting as a process of combining materials, time and thought. Before the painting becomes physical, the process starts with an exploration of place, and time. That exploration is sometimes done over a series of visits during different seasons. This allows me to understand how time of day and weather effect a specific location. River and streams move me, as well as the connection between land and sky. Even though most of my paintings are from locations within a 3-hour drive of my home, creating the painting allows me to spend hours at a time at the location that has become my subject, without leaving my studio.
