Through New Eyes:
My goal as a painter has always been to make anyone viewing my work feel like they could walk right into the painting. I was working with the composition to achieve this, and I loved the strong contrast of sun light.
My current work has a few changes; Let me tell you why and how.
A year ago I got some paintings back, which had been on exhibit for a long time. I placed them in my studio gallery, and really looked them over. In doing so they seemed somehow, flat to me. I wanted to create more space, more depth. I also wanted you, the viewer, to spend more time looking closely at my work. I changed the color temperature in places, which helped to push my horizons further into the distance and at the same time pull some areas forward. I added implied texture to the trees, to pull them closer.
