Description
I love road trips; there is always a weather event that makes for a great show. This part of north-western Minnesota has lots of trees but is fairly flat, so sometimes you get long vistas across the fields in between. There was a beautiful contrast between the sun shining brightly in the foreground and the darkness of the clouds beyond. The road and car in the middle distance gave the whole thing scale, so that you got a sense of the spatial distances between where you were standing and the trees and fields. The clouds themselves were all shades of purply bluish grey, and the sun made bright spots that brought the whole thing into beautiful balance. The painting is wired and ready to hang, the sides are gessoed white.

United States  • 1949

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.

Professional/Teaching Experience:

Harvard Career Discovery, Graduate School of Design

Artistic Influences:

Albert Bierstadt, Ansel Adams, Winslow Homer, Edward Hopper, Alice Neel, Richard Diebenkorn, Wayne Thibaud, Barkley Hendricks, Catherine Murphy. 
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.
