This painting is egg tempera and oil on panel. My landscapes are meant to give a degree of ambiguity that allows them to provoke a sense of familiarity and calm without presenting a specific location. Sea, land, and sky. These most basic elements of the natural world captivate me. A band of light dances across the surface of the water. A shadow defines the edge of a mountainside. A shift of color marks the sky below and above the clouds. These relationships of light, line, and color are my experience of a landscape, and they return when I sit in my studio to paint. These paintings come from simple ingredients: memory and imagination, sea, land, and sky.
