Description
The crystal clear water of Emerald Lake sits below the rugged peaks of Sharks Tooth. You cannot drive to this beautiful scene, but it is well worth the hike.
I am thrilled when I reflect on the creation of creation. I hope to lift your spirit to an elevated appreciation of God's handiwork. I also hope you like the art for it's own sake. The way this painting is done requires a lot of paint layers. Some layers are transparent. Some are opaque. Some are a combination. This is a wonderful addition to any collection.

Presentation

Artist Statement:

I paint representational landscape paintings.

Within this discipline is an immense field of artistic expression. My own work is often compared to the Hudson River School artists who placed spiritual significance to their landscapes.

Painting a compelling landscape - art inspired by the natural world - is something much broader than simply depicting a beautiful scene. Evoking mood, atmosphere, and breadth is challenging, arduous, and, I might add, a welcome task. Edgar Degas said “Painting is easy when you don't know how, but very difficult when you do." He meant the task can be daunting if you care to move beyond the superficial methods.

In my approach to painting color is very important, but value is even more important. The timbre of each painting is carefully constructed, and usually painted and then modified, studied and modified again until it feels right. I like painting outside from time to time, but I am primarily a studio painter.

I can articulate messages in a painting that I would never be able to communicate with words. It is not uncommon for a person to say “That painting really speaks to me". And paintings surely do. They speak to me, they speak to you. They can express things that have no verbal counterpart. Browns and blacks can speak. Greens and yellows. Their expression is different when placed next to blue, or red, or orange. It is true with all colors. Sharp edges, subtle blends, little texture, much texture, vertical composition, horizontal composition, shades, hues, and the endless ways of using them. This is the vocabulary of the painter. It is my voice.

I really want people to respond to my paintings on an emotional level. I want them to appreciate the painting not just simply as a rendition of a scene, but as something that intrigues them. Something that triggers memories, inspires imagination, and challenges intellect.

Professional/Teaching Experience:

Artistic Influences:

I'm greatly influenced by many of the landscape painters who historically had a huge impact on American art. Painters like Herman Hertzog, Thomas Moran, Frederic Church, and Albert Bierstadt led the way with tones and compositions that help us see landscape as a message, not just decoration. Contemporaries include artists like Joseph McGurl, and Don Demers.
