Abstractions Corner
I often use abstract painting to "reset" or cleanse my techniques, especially after a series of realistic, representational, or detail focused works. I am not an abstract painter as this is a level of artistry and craftsmanship unto itself, requiring years of commitment, skill, and inspiration. Rather, I indulge my aesthetic sensibilities by stripping away the constraints of recognizable imagery as a way of removing myself from my comfort zone.
Human Figures and Portraits
Painting people is a passion of mine. I am obsessed with the human form, although I have much to learn in discovering how to represent it in all it's complexities. Here are some of the paintings of people that I know and some I don't.
Darkboat Studios- Cambodia
Watercolor paintings of scenes from travels in the country of Cambodia!
Landscapes
A landscape painting is, in essence, a story. Each landscape I paint tells a story of some dramatic interaction between the viewer and the view. I work to draw out a tension between colors and light and an internal tension of space and direction. A good landscape is like a mirror we hold up before ourself, we look into the world before us and find ourselves portrayed in nature.
