ARTIST STATEMENT

I thought this painting would have figures in it. It shows empty fields waiting by a band of travelers. They have moved to a warm place and taken off their clothes. I am concerned this cliff face will never be filled. Like most of my work, this piece is dealing with landscapes: landscapes of color, the body and outer/inner worlds. It is funny to be a landscape painter; landscapes are soothing and uplifting. I take a lot of reference photos—stumps and puddles mostly—but I rarely use them. This is also soothing. A year ago I was more concerned with having an ambiguous sense of scale in my work. I think since my move to the country I’ve worried less about exposing these fantasy landscapes and painted more scenes like this one.
