Landscape & Commissions Featured Landscape Paintings: Each painting
depicts a scene in which light filters through the leaves of a densely populated forest. As the light penetrates
the moving leaves, it radiates an energy that pulsates through the limbs and branches of the forest. Light
is reflected on the leaves and flowers, simulating a dancing, bouquet of color. The colors are enhanced,
next to the contrasting figuration of the linear qualities of the forest. They create an atmosphere that is warm, welcoming
and safe, while enticing the viewer to look up into a breathtaking unknown. The technique and approach to the subject matter is considerate of a classic approach to landscape.
The viewpoint alone, challenges this traditional approach. In depicting the light of the area, the
brush-strokes tend to create large, abstract applications of saturated color. The scale of the large painting
purposely increases the magnitude of the individual application of hue, mainly cadmium orange, Naples yellow and lime green,
forcing the viewer to consider color, and it’s atmospheric value.
