ARTIST STATEMENT
In all my work, I want to bring you into the immediate
feeling of the landscapes I am seeing. To do so I
express the motif with luminous color and simplified
forms.
Compositions are painted in broad areas of color and
objects are reduced to their essentials. Houses are
stripped of descriptive detail. Space is flattened.
Color captures the moods of nature, light and air. If
the completed painting suggests an emotion or feeling
to you, I have been successful.
My subject matter for the last several years has
been the landscapes of Italy and Cape Cod, and recently
seascapes of Marblehead and Cape Ann, Massachusetts.
While on location I create oil studies to record my
immediate visual sensations. These studies are
painted quickly to capture the light: they are
finished works in themselves and also serve as memory
aids for the paintings done in my studio.
