SPRINGTIME LANDSCAPES

I've been finding harmony in monotypes, there's a certain amount of the "surprise" that I find joyful.  Each time I lay the paper down to burnish it to pick up a color, it's a similar feeling to unwrapping a beautiful gift.  It's also forcing me to simplify my view of art and strip an image down to an essence, rather than a replica of what is obvious..

I made a sincere attempt to make every brush stroke have true intent.
One of my favorite results was a depiction of the view looking out at the Atlantic Ocean from Long Sands Beach in York Maine.  
​How do I visually capture the repeated sounds of waves crests crashing on the coastline?  I will keep trying until I can really hear it.  More to come.

    NOTES & SKETCHBOOK


    Excerpts from:
    Ask Me About My Art  / 2020

    ​

    Where does your inspiration come from? 

          "Everywhere! That's a bit of a tough question because inspiration is fluid and constantly evolving and it changes minute to minute, hour by hour.  I could be passionate about circles one day and trip over a rock and obsess about the color of that particular rock for a decade.  It's a constant surprise for me, that's what makes life, and art... interesting and beautiful."

    What is your creative process?
           "Well, that might be an entire separate book! I guess the simple answer is that I dump the things that clutter my brain into art so I can make room to upload all the new things." 

    What medium do you primarily work in?
          "Depends on the subject, the colors I am drawn to that day, the subject I'm looking at and whatever it is that is inspiring me at that moment...I use whatever tool necessary to best convey the story, image, or message.  I do seem to have a comfort level with acrylic on canvas, written word or digital photography, I frequently lean on and return to those tools after trying a few other things."
