This imagined landscape is a channeling of years of different painting experiences. Of late I've been starting paintings with only vague mental images of where I want to go. Much as authors describe how characters they've created later take over and write the story themselves, these paintings take on a life of their as they develop.
As I continue to explore deconstructing light and the landscape, I continue to find greater and greater possibilities in the liberties I can take while still capturing that inner luminosity that is always so elusive. This piece is a fine example of an abstract exploration can still glow with inner light.
This is oil on stretched linen. It's on gallery wrapped 1.5 inch deep stretchers, and looks great hung unframed (as-is). This can also be framed.
This house has the most amazing garden. Two years ago I passed this spot and made a mental note to return to paint the scene. I tried to get back that year, but I was too late. The blooming season is relatively short, and when I passed this spot this year I immediately went back to my studio, grabbed my gear and returned to paint knowing just how hard it is to get the timing right.
I picked this unusual long format (8x20 inches) to get the feel of the long narrow garden along the side of the properly. This gives the piece a very unique quality.

I painted this lovely little piece on a quite day after a big storm. The ocean was calm, and the glare off the waves caught my attention.

I was out painting on the coast all day, and as the started to set it started to light the foam off the waves with a magical glow.
Then someone climbed out on the rocks to get a better view, and it put the whole scene in a new perspective. The scale of the breakers and the magic of the moment were both amplified. This is a moment I won't soon forget.
