Description
On a visit to Toronto we took a detour to Niagara Falls. It was a rainy, misty day, which discouraged most people from visiting; we had the pleasure of being almost alone at some of the viewpoints. On the Canadian side you can get close to where the water drops off, which is an amazing experience because of the immense power of the water as it goes over. You can see the edge where it goes over; the steely grey of the river had a sharp boundary where the light shines through and turns the water a glassy vibrant green. I loved seeing the massive weight of the rushing water turning into something that was almost ethereal. The painting is wired and ready to hang--the sides are gessoed white.

Presentation

I turned to painting several years ago after a successful career as an architect, around the same time that I moved to the Reno/Tahoe area. 

As a kid I was always drawing, painting, making models, little dioramas. I spent many of my teenage week-ends in museums and galleries in NYC and elsewhere; I couldn't get enough of the strange and alien/wonderful worlds they opened up to me. I still get the same thrill from work that makes me think or that surprises me. 

When I paint, my starting point is the wish to get the same response in a viewer as my own spiritual appreciation for whatever I am looking at. I never know exactly where a painting will end up until it is done, because I am always trying new ways to get that, with a fresh look at the thing that interested me in the first place. 

My work is also heavily influenced by my background as an architect; all the same ingredients go into both architecture and painting; perspective, color, form, materiality, and light. When they are most effective, both require a unique and inventive perspective that evokes an emotional response from the viewer, including myself. It is my hope that I am sometimes successful in this.

Artistic Influences:

Also the art critic, Harold Rosenberg, who taught me something about creativity...
and most of all Donald Judd, who I was most fortunate to have as my first studio instructor. He is known for his minimalist sculptures but he had a keen eye for form and a true understanding of an artist's intention.
