For some time I have been trying to capture the essence of the place. The prevailing feeling, the mystery, the passage of time, and the colour are important.
To achieve this I paint on site in all seasons. The immediacy of the experience yields both freshness and an emotional input. In nature, with time, one experiences what a camera cannot. Her colours and how they work together, the composition, the abstract shapes, the light and its changes, the exquisite edge control, the sounds and smells are all significant experiences. Derived emotion is the catalyst that helps one create in this environment.
Studio paintings are created from the paintings and studies made on site. The challenge is to preserve the experiences garnered in the places explored.
