Plein Air/Studio oil painting Brush and Palette Knife

I consider myself a tonalist, rather than a colorist. I like to explore the subtle ways that light affects the landscape. I also enjoy color, but the value relationships in a landscape are what interest me most.

Another quality that I like to emphasize in my oil is the abstract nature of the landscapes that surround us. Painting for me is a meditative experience--essential to my well-being, and a necessary part of my life. Painting also brings me great joy, and, I hope, uplifts the hearts of those who view my work.
