My paintings originate
from a variety of sources and inspiration. Some, like the one shown below, come from a specific scene
or structure that I’ve seen and photographed. Although I often take liberty with surroundings and
background, the primary subject is portrayed accurately.
The third barn - from a Livingston Co. farm...acrylic...36x36
Other paintings are
based rather loosely on something I’ve seen; I may borrow the composition and
create my own mood, or borrow the mood and adapt it to a different composition
or setting.
Kent Co. Farm (Delaware)...acrylic...24x30
After so many years of
painting landscapes, with and without barns and farms, I am able to paint from
memory and imagination, creation my own scenes and buildings.
Somewhere Else...acrylic...48x60
Each category presents
its own set of challenges and satisfaction, and I enjoy working in all of
them. But, if I had to pick just
one, I would go with painting from memory and imagination; this offers me the
most room to explore and look for new ways to express myself.
