I have come to really love the intimate connection plein air painting offers. There is something extra special about setting up my easel outdoors and allowing nature’s energy to be part of my creative process. The subject matter of my paintings continues to evolve with the landscape being my primary focus, but an underlying theme remains constant—a sense of harmony. Where there is harmony, joy isn’t too far behind.
My hope is to encourage others to pause and see the endless possibilities of joy around us; and even more importantly to nurture them to be cherished once again.
Again I resume the long lesson: how small a thing can be pleasing, how little in this hard world it takes to satisfy the mind and bring it to its rest
