Being a landscape painter as well as a non representational abstract artist, I often try to capture the feeling of light in the landscape. Making the light the subject of the painting. Although the land mass still has an important function of balance and scale in the work it is not the center of interest the light is. The two paintings I am posting are from my Studio class at the Art League this last semester. The theme of the class was to develop a theme and work with it. Many of the students really kept their heads in the work and produced some very interesting and creative pieces. My theme was light and these two pieces represent a couple of my demos. They are both full sheet watercolors painted on 300 lb. paper.
