Essentials

For more than forty years, my landscape painting has investigated the concept of change and the themes of assertion and recovery of the landscape. Since the late seventies, almost all my work has some concern with water, either moving or still. My labors have always been disciplined by a direct approach with the observed landscape, painting without influence of photographs or even preliminary sketches. Over the years I have stretched the boundaries of size and scale in my work, sometimes working in small, conventional sizes to large and imposing canvases that are many feet in length. In the last four or five years, I have developed a much simpler approach to my working methods; working in small scale and then a larger dimension on panels that have very pleasant relationships of height to width: hollow doors.

Direct observation/participation serves my love of the physical in painting and my lifelong study of the land as realization: a direct experience of our true nature.
